Serial Tunneling Profile
Overview
The Serial Tunneling profile allows two Terminal Servers to be connected back-to-back over the
network to establish a virtual link between two serial ports based on RFC 2217.
Functionality
The serial device that initiates the connection is the
Tunnel
Client
and the destination is the
Tunnel
Server
, although once the serial communication tunnel has been successfully established,
communication can go both ways.
A more detailed implementation of the Serial Tunneling profile is as follows:

the EOF character as the first character on a line sends the character to the
remote host. This value is in hexadecimal.

in hexadecimal.
