Instruction Manual
RFC2217 also enables the serial port to be tunneled to a remote ECS0016 client gateway, so two serial port devices can be transparently interconnect over a network.
Accumulation Period
By default, once a connection has been established for a particular serial port (such as a RFC2217 redirection or Telnet connection to a remote computer) then any incoming characters on that port are forwarded over the network on a character by character basis. The accumulation period changes this by specifying a period of time that incoming characters will be collected before then being sent as a packet over the network.
Escape Character (esc)
This enables you to change the character used for sending escape char- acters. The default is ~.
SDT Mode
This Secure Tunneling setting allows port forwarding of RDP, VNC, HTPP, HTTPS, SSH, Telnet and other LAN protocols through to computers which are locally connected to the ECS0016 by their serial COM port. However such port forwarding requires a PPP link to be set up over this serial port.
Power Strip Mode
This mode configures the selected serial port to communicate with an intelligent serial controlled power strip.
Terminal Server Mode
Select Terminal Server Mode and the Terminal Type (vt220, vt102, vt100, Linux or ANSI) to enable a tty login on the selected serial port.
The getty will then configure the port and wait for a connection to be made. An active connection on a serial device is usually indicated by the
