Serial Port Profiles

TCP Port

The TCP port that the IOLAN will use to listen for incoming connections.

 

Default: 10000 plus the serial port number, so serial port 2 would have a

 

default of 10002

Allow Multiple

When this option is enabled, multiple hosts can connect to the serial device that

Hosts to Connect

is connected to this serial port.

 

Default: Disabled

Enable IP Aliasing Enables/disables the ability to access a serial device connected to the serial port by an IP address (or host name that can be resolved to the Internet IP Address in a DNS network) The IOLAN can also be accessed by an IP address and port number.

 

Default: Disabled

Connect To

When enabled, the IOLAN initiates communication to the Workstation/Server.

 

Default: Disabled

Host Name

The configured host that the IOLAN will connect to.

TCP Port

The TCP Port that the IOLAN will use to communicate to the client.

 

Default: 0

Connect to

When enabled, allows a serial device connected to this serial port to

Multiple Hosts

communicate to multiple hosts.

 

Default: Disabled

Click this button to define the hosts that this serial port will connect to. This button is also used to define the Primary/Backup host functionality.

If the serial port hardware parameters have been setup to monitor DSR or DCD, the host session will be started once the signals are detected. If no hardware signals are being monitored, the IOLAN will initiate the session immediately after being powered up.

Default: Enabled

Initiates a connection to the specified host when any data is received on the serial port.

Default: Disabled

Initiates a connection to the specified host only when the specified character is received on the serial port.

Default: Disabled

When enabled, the port name will be sent to the host upon session initiation. This will be done before any other data is sent or received to/from the host

Default: Disabled

When this option is enabled, you can select both checkbox options "listen for connection" and "connect to".

Default: Disabled
