4.1.2 Hardened Serial Server Information Table

The Hardened Serial Server information table contains information about all Hardened Serial Servers that have been discovered on the network or serial ports.

Table 4-1. Serial server information table.

Server Name	Connection	Port 1	Port 2	Port 3	Port 4
LES421A	169.254.0.41	TCP:S:4000=COM5, in use	—	—	—
LES422A	169.254.0.42	TCP: 5000 = COM6	TCP: 5001 = COM7	—	—
LES424A	169.254.0.43	TCP: 6000 = COM8	TCP: 6001 = COM9	TCP: 6002 = COM10	TCP: 6003 = COM11

The table displays the following information for each Hardened Serial Server:

•Server Name—the name reported by the Hardened Serial Server.

•Connection—the IP address of the Hardened Serial Server.

•Port 1, Port 2, Port 3, and Port 4.

-Communications protocol assigned to the serial port (TCP, UDP, or Paired mode).

-Whether the port initiates connections (Client mode) or accepts connections (Server mode).

-TCP port number or UDP port number.

-The virtual COM port assignment on the local PC (if assigned).

-Whether the Hardened Serial Server's serial port is being used by anyone on the network. The status of whether the Hardened Serial Server in use is updated periodically.

When a Hardened Serial Server's IP address is configured for a network that is not within the local network's range, the Hardened Serial Server's information is displayed in a different color (yellow).
