Paired Mode
Paired Mode (also called Serial Tunneling or Serial Bridge mode) allows
serial devices connected to two LPD401A converters to
communicate across a network. The two LPD401A converters
automatically connect to each other.
In Paired Mode the heartbeat feature ensures reliable communications by
restoring the connection if communications are temporarily lost at either end
due to loss of power or Ethernet connection.
Other Communications Modes
LPD401A Converters also feature the following communications
profiles:
Terminal Mode allows you to connect a PC running terminal software to the
LPD401A serial port and communicate with the LPD401A
via a command line interface.
Modem Emulation Mode allows you to configure the serial port to operate
as if it is a modem. For legacy applications where a serial device is set up to
communicate through a modem, the serial device can now be connected to
the LPD401A and communication occurs over the network. The
LPD401A emulates modem responses to and from the serial
device.
In Console Management Mode the LPD401A can be
configured for connection to the management port typically found on
network devices such as routers, switches and servers. This allows remote
management of the network device. Communication can be accomplished
using telnet to a specific port in the converter.
Custom Mode allows you to custom configure the LPD401A
serial port and is used if your application does not fit into any other
predefined modes.
