Using the Terminal Configurator
•
serial connect data. The format is the same as in socket connect data. This
causes data to be written to the UART once a connection is successful.
•
serial disconnect data. This causes data to be written to the UART when the
network connection has been closed. This data is appended to any data
already in progress. The closing of the socket will not cancel UART
transmission of any data already received over the socket. The format of this
data is the same as in socket connect data.
•
Serial fail data. If the socket connection were to fail this causes data to be
written to the UART. This should only happen in the case of a connect type
where the remote machine was unavailable or refused the connection.
However, this value may be used to catch listen problems should any software
problem occur. The format is the same as in socket connect data.
Bridged Ethernet (lan0)
[hardware]
Settings for the actual Ethernet Adapter hardware are determined under this category. This
category varies depending on the particular radio type being used. Following are some
common settings that might be found for radio configuration.
•
network name. This name determines the network to which the Ethernet
Adapter device will be connecting. Alphanumeric values may be used in this
field. The default is "ANY". The network name is case-sensitive.
•
station name. The name of an individual Ethernet Adapter device. Any
alphanumeric name may be used.
•
MAC address. Media Access Control. This address is a unique alphanumeric
address that defines each node of the network. This address is predefined by
the manufacturer. Valid values for this setting are: “detect save” – this will
make the Ethernet Adapter assume the MAC address of the device on the
Ethernet Adapter’s ethernet port; “built-in” – this will use the Ethernet
Adapter’s built-in MAC address; otherwise, a specific MAC address can be
specified by typing in the 12 character MAC address without the colons, i.e.:
to specify MAC address 01:23:45:67:89:ab, use: 0123456789ab. When using
the Ethernet Adapter for wired to wireless ethernet bridging, detect save
should be used.
•
transmit rate.The data rate at which the radio transmits is set by this field.
Valid values are radio dependent.
•
enable encryption. This value is used to indicate whether WEP encryption
by the radio is desired or not. If the Ethernet Adapter does not support setting
WEP for the particular radio in use, this option will not appear. Setting of the
various encryption options is done in the [encryption] section.
