Chapter 2: Application Examples

The 

STE-10

 is assigned an IP address for the domain and the

serial port is configured according to the requirements of the serial

terminal. In our example, we used a PC with Windows

, running

HyperTerminal

 and a serial connection on COM1. The port settings

were 9600, 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit, and no flow control. The

STE-10

 provides a prompt on the terminal screen. A telnet connection

to the UNIX host is initiated. Below is the screen captured.

STE-10

 Terminal Server mode, serial access to telnet.

The Raw Server mode can be used in conjunction with another

STE-10

 unit running in Auto Telnet mode to provide a transparent

serial connection over TCPIP. This is the next application we will

explore.
