Quatech, Inc. AirborneDirect™ User Manual

20.0 Configuring Serial Device Server

The ABDG-SE-DP5XX/IN5XXX devices are shipped preconfigured for use as Serial Device Servers. All that is required is configuration of the WLAN parameters and security protocols; however the following section will cover the full configuration of a Serial Device Server to aid in the installation and deployment of the units.

If the Windows Virtual COM port driver is being used with the device, configure only the WLAN network parameters and security protocols through the web interface. All other parameters will be controlled by the VCOM driver. Installation and configuration of the VCOM driver is covered in section 21.0.

The following section shows how to manually configure the unit to accept TCP/IP connections and automatically set-up a data tunnel with one of the serial ports. The configuration is independent of the source of the request, as the tunnel ports are available to both the WLAN and Ethernet interfaces.

The Airborne devices support conditional tunnel binding based upon rules included in the configuration. The major options will be included.

20.1Configuring Serial Port for Access on Telnet Port

A data tunnel can be made using the device’s telnet port as the network connection port. This does require authenticating with the device and manually initiating the tunnel connection. Configuring the device to support this approach to establishing a data tunnel is covered in the following table.
