CONFIGURING SERIAL DEVICE SERVER
ABDx-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
covers the full configuration of a Serial Device Server to aid in 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 on rules included in the configuration. The
major options will be included.
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.
