Tunnel Settings
Tunneling allows serial devices to communicate over a network, without “being aware” of the
devices that establish the network connection between them. Tunneling parameters are
configured using the Tunnel menu and submenus. The Tunnel settings allow you to configure how
the Serial-Network tunneling operates. Tunneling is available on all serial lines. The connections
on one serial line are separate from those on another serial port.
Note:
The following section describes the steps to view and configure Tunnel 1 settings;
these steps apply to other tunnel instances of the device.
Serial Settings
These serial settings for the tunnel apply to the Serial Line interface. The Line Settings and
Protocol are displayed for informational purposes and must be configured from the Line settings.
