Accept Mode

In Accept Mode, the EDS-MD4/8/16 listens (waits) for incoming connections from the network. A remove node on the network initiates the connection.

The configurable local port is the port the remote device connects to for this connection. There is no remote port or address. Supported serial lines and associated local port numbers progress sequentially in matching value. For instance, the default local port is 10001 for serial line 1 and the default local port for serial line 2 is 10002, and so on for the number of serial lines supported.

Serial data can still be received while waiting for a network connection, keeping in mind serial data buffer limitations.

	Table 6-5 Tunnel Accept Mode Settings
Tunnel Accept Mode		Description
Settings
Mode		Set the method used to start a tunnel in Accept mode. Choices are:
		 Disable = do not accept an incoming connection.
		 Always = accept an incoming connection. (default)
		 Any Character = start waiting for an incoming connection when any
		character is read on the serial line.
		 Start Character = start waiting for an incoming connection when the
		start character for the selected tunnel is read on the serial line.
		 Modem Control Asserted = start waiting for an incoming connection as
		long as the Modem Control pin (DSR) is asserted on the serial line until
		a connection is made.
		 Modem Emulation = start waiting for an incoming connection when
		triggered by modem emulation AT commands. Connect mode must
		also be set to Modem Emulation.
Local Port		Set the port number for use as the network local port. The default local port
		number for each supported serial line number progresses sequentially in
		equal value so that Tunnel X : 1000X. For example:
		 Tunnel 1 : 10001
		 Tunnel 2 : 10002
Protocol		Select the protocol type for use with Accept Mode:
		 SSH
		 SSL
		 TCP (default protocol)
		 TCP AES
		 Telnet
TCP Keep Alive		Enter the time, in milliseconds, theEDS-MD waits during a silent
		connection before checking if the currently connected network device is
		still on the network. If the unit then gets no response after 1 attempt, it
		drops the connection. Enter 0 to disable.
