Configuring the Serial Device Server
The APXx-Q524x can be used as a Serial Device Server even when in Access Point
mode. The following section will cover the full configuration of a Serial Device.
The following section explains how to manually configure the unit to accept TCP/IP
connections and automatically setup 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.
Airborne devices support conditional tunnel binding based upon rules included in the
configuration. The major options will be included.
15.1 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 is
covered in the following table.
