Direction

The direction in which information is received or relayed:

 

z None—UDP service not enabled.

 

z In—LAN to serial.

 

z

Out—Serial to LAN.

 

z

Both—Messages are relayed both directions.

VModem Settings

When the Line Service is set to VModem, the Device Server acts as a virtual modem. After a virtual modem connection is established, data will flow in both directions in its original format.

Configure the following parameters:

Host Name

Port

Success

Failure

Suppress

Style

The target host name.

The port number the target host is listening on for messages.

String that is sent to the serial device when a connection succeeds. If no string is entered, then the string CONNECT will be sent with the connecting speed, for example CONNECT 9600.

String that is sent to the serial device when a connection fails. If no string is entered, then the string NO CARRIER will be sent.

If set to No, connection success/failure indication strings are sent to the connected device, otherwise these indications are suppressed.

One of the following:

zVerbose—Return codes (strings) are sent to the connected device.

zNumeric—The following characters can be sent to the connected device: 1 Successfully Connected
