Serial Tunnel
Using the MSS
5-10
5.5 Serial Tunnel
Two MSS servers can be connected to emulate a direct serial connection across a LAN or
WAN. Servers connected in this way can pass data only—they will not be able to pass
status signals (DSR/DTR, RTS/CTS, etc.) or preserve timing between characters. The basic
network configuration for this virtual serial line is shown in Figure 5-12.

Note:
Because each MSS can have multiple attached serial devices, there
can be up to four active serial tunnels at one time. For example, a
second serial device on MSS_A above could form a second serial
tunnel to another serial device on MSS_B.
For more information on environment strings, which are used in the following sections to
create serial tunnels, see Table 5-1 on page 5-3.
5.5.1 TCP Configuration
Assuming the MSS network and serial port parameters have been configured properly, and
n represents the port number of the attached device for that MSS, the two Servers would be
configured as follows:
MSS_A
Local>> CHANGE PORT n DEDICATED TCP 192.168.5.10:3001T
Local>> CHANGE PORT n AUTOSTART ENABLED
MSS_B
Local>> CHANGE PORT n ACCESS REMOTE
Local>> CHANGE PORT n DEDICATED NONE
Local>> CHANGE PORT n AUTOSTART DISABLED
Note:
If the Servers are on different IP subnets, configure the default
gateway on each unit with the Change Gateway command.
Repeat the above steps for each additional serial tunnel.
The above commands create a raw (8-bit clean) TCP connection between the specified
serial ports of the two Servers once the units have been power-cycled. The commands for
the specified MSS_A ports ensure that they will automatically connect to the specified
MSS_B ports each time the MSS_A is booted. The commands for MSS_B ensure that it
is always available to accept connections from MSS_A.
