CSD - Transparent serial communication

Creates a transparent serial connection, RS-232 or RS-485, over a 2G CSD data 
call.
Serial connection at the InduBox side can be made from the configuration 
interface (full RS-232) or the isolated interface (3-wire RS-232 or 2-wire RS-485).
Incoming connections will be forwarded to the selected interface.

TCP/IP - Socket Serial Communication

Creates a TCP socket to which a remote connection can be made (server mode),
or connects to a remote TCP server (client mode). All data sent over the TCP 
connection is forwarded on the selected serial interface (in the configuration -> 
serial menu) and vice versa. The serial interface can be the isolated interface or 
the configuration interface. 

The DinBox GSM M4 can act as a server (expecting a TCP connection from a 
client) or as a client (connecting to a server).

# Client :
Fill in this configuration if “Client” is selected (client will connect to a remote TCP 
server).

Host IP address: IP address of the remote TCP server.

Host Port Number: Port number of the remote TCP server.

Connection Trigger: Defines when the TCP client will connect to the remote 
TCP server:

always: permanent connection

after any character: any character on the selected serial interface will 
trigger and open the TCP connection.

After specific character: TCP connection will be made after a specific 
character is written to the serial interface. The character can be given in 
the next field, in hexadecimal, default is 61h (a).

# Server :
Fill in this configuration if “Server” is selected. 

The device will act as a TCP server waiting for a TCP connection on the given 
Port number (and the WAN IP address).
