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.

20.1 Configuring 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.
