serial line, it disconnects an active tunnel connection. Default is
<none>.

serial line is read.
Off = do not echo the start character. (default)
Echo Stop

Tunnel – Accept Mode Page Accept Mode determines how the EDS “listens” for an incoming connection. If you click
Accept Mode at the top of one of the Tunnel pages, the Tunnel – Accept Mode page
displays. Here you can select the method for starting a tunnel in Accept mode and select
other settings for the tunnel selected at the top of the page.
Under Current Configuration, Local Port has a Reset link if it has been changed from
the default. If you click this link, a message tells you that your action may stop an active
connection. Click OK to proceed or Cancel to cancel the operation.
For more information about Accept mode, see Accept Mode on page 146.
