Using the ETS
UDP Configuration
When the UDP protocol is used, there is no connection; each ETS must be told explicitly which hosts it is allowed to accept packets from. Each ETS would have to be configured to both send packets to and accept packets from the other ETS.
ETS_A
Local>> DEFINE PORT 2 DEDICATED TELNET 192.168.5.10:4096U Local>> DEFINE PORT 2 AUTOSTART ENABLED
Local>> DEFINE PORT 2 ACCESS DYNAMIC
ETS_B
Local>> DEFINE PORT 3 DEDICATED TELNET 192.168.5.2:4096U Local>> DEFINE PORT 3 AUTOSTART ENABLED
Local>> DEFINE PORT 3 ACCESS DYNAMIC
Note: For further information on applicable environment strings, refer to the ETS Reference Manual.
Setting up dedicated hosts ensures that the units will always talk to each other. Enabling Autostart for both units enables one ETS to send data to the other ETS without having to wait for a serial carriage return to start the session. ETS_B knows exactly which other ETS to accept connections from. Finally, when Autostart is enabled, the access mode must be either Local or Dynamic (Dynamic is more flexible).
Multi-port Serial Tunnel Configuration
You can create serial tunnels for any available ports on the ETS. Each serial tunnel must point from one ETS port to one different serial device port (such as a serial port on an ETS, MSS, or UDS server).
Comm Port Redirector
The Lantronix Comm Port Redirector application allows PCs to share modems and other serial devices connected to an ETS using Microsoft Windows or DOS communication applications. The Redirector intercepts communications to specified Comm ports and sends them over an IP network connection to the ETS serial port. This enables the PC to use the ETS serial port as if it were one of the PC Comm ports. Using their existing communications software, PC users dial out to a remote host through a modem connected to the ETS.
The Comm Port Redirector software and installation instructions are included on the distribution
