Operation
55
Server Mode
•
Install and connect the EtherPath and Serial Port Device as
described in Chapters 3 and 4.
•
Any PC or workstation on the LAN/WAN should now be able
to use Telnet to connect to the Serial Port Device with the
command:
telnet IP_Address Port_number
Where
IP_Address
is the IP address of the EtherPath, and
Port_number
is the configured value (default value is 3000).
For example, if the default IP address and port number have not
been changed (and they are appropriate for your network), then
you would enter the command:
telnet 192.168.1.1 3000
•
You should see a “Connected” message from the telnet client
when the connection is established. Some telnet clients don’t
display this message.
•
You may now proceed as if the remote serial port device was
connected to the serial port of your PC or workstation.
•
If there is a firewall in the link between the EtherPath and your
workstation, you may need to configure it to pass packets using
the port number configured into the EtherPath.
Client/Server Point-to-Multiple-Point
(
EtherModem
) Mode
•
EtherModem
mode requires multiple EtherPaths configured in
“Server” mode and a single EtherPath configured in “Client”
