Each side is configured with the IP address and destination TCP port of the other side acting as
a TCP server. A peer-to-peer bridge is the preferred configuration for a serial bridge.
To configure a peer-to-peer bridge, enable both Initiate serial bridge to the following
device and Allow other devices to initiate serial bridge.
n Client/Server bridge: In a client/server bridge, one side of the bridge is designated as the
client. This side should enable Initiate serial bridge to the following device. You need to
configure the client with the IP address and TCP port of the other side of the bridge.
The other side of the bridge is designated as the server. This side should enable Allow other
devices to initiate serial bridge.
Note the TCP Port value entered under Allow other devices to initiate serial bridge. You will
need this TCP Port number when you configure the other side of the serial bridge. Most bridges
should use the suggested default TCP Port.
n Enable Secure Socket serial bridge: Enable to use a secure socket connection, otherwise the
connection will use raw TCP.
Serial Services
Your serial device can automatically establish connections to another system or device on the
network. This is also referred to as Automatic Connection or AutoConnect.
Access the command line interface: Enable access to the command-line interface when connecting
from serial terminals.
TCP Settings
Automatically establish bi-directional TCP connections between the serial device and a server or other
networked device.
n Automatically establish TCP Connections: Enable automatic connection to a system or
device on the network.
l Establish connection under one of the following conditions:
o
Always connect and maintain connections: A connection is always available. If a
connection is lost it will be reconnected automatically. This type of connection is most
often used in client/server configurations where this Digi device server is the client.
Note Select this option to enable autoconnect for 3-wire devices.
o
Connect when data is present on the serial line: A connection is made when the
serial port receives data. This type of connection is most often used for terminals and
terminal emulation.
o
Match string: A 1 to 4 character string. This is usually the newline character sequence
but can also be a custom string of 1 to 4 characters.
o
Strip string before sending: Search for the string specified in the Match String field
before sending the data and strip the string from the string from the data before it is
sent to the destination.
