Configuring HTTP Tunnels
Configuring HTTP Tunnels

Serial-to Serial

The following example will demonstrate how to set up a serial device (VT100 Terminal) to serial
device (Linux host, console port) connection via an HTTPS tunnel. HTTPS will be used because data
security is required. Because IOLAN 1 is behind the firewall, it will need to initiate the HTTP tunnel
connection.
For more HTTP tunneling configuration parameters see HTTP Tunneling
Configure a “connect to” HTTP tunnel on IOLAN 1
Note: When HTTP tunneling is used TCP and UDP ports 50000 and above are reserved and
should not be configured by the user.
