Serial Bridge
: A bridge connects two serial devices over the network as if they were
connected with a serial cable. This is also referred to as serial tunneling. Each serial
device is connected to the serial port of a Digi device server. Configure one Digi device
as the TCP server and the other Digi device as the TCP client. Once you establish a
connection between the two Digi devices the communication is bi-directional.
To assign a Serial Bridge (Serial Tunneling) to a serial port on a Digi device acting as the
TCP client (which initiates the connection to the TCP server):
a. Select
Initiate serial bridge to the following device
and provide the
following information:
l
Type the
IP Address
of the other Digi device server.
l
In the
TCP Port
field, type the Raw TCP port number for the destination
serial port. If the serial port is the first or only port on the device server,
the value is 2101.
b. Click
Apply
to save the configuration.
c. Click
Basic Serial Settings
, complete the fields to match the settings of the
attached serial device and then click
Apply
.
Follow the same steps to configure the Digi device server on the other side of the
bridge, with the following exceptions:
l
Select
Allow other devices to initiate serial bridge
. The default
TCP Port
rarely
needs to be changed.
l
Clear the
Initiate serial bridge to the following device
check box.
