Configuring Terminal Server
32.1
Overview
Terminal Server is a background application whose main task is to forward data between
TCP connections or UDP streams and asynchronous or synchronous serial ports.
Terminal Server application serves up to 4 sessions simultaneously one for each serial
port, depending on the device. Each Terminal Server session has an IP endpoint and an
associated specific serial port.
You can configure the IP endpoint of each Terminal Server session to be a:
•
TCP server: each session is listening on a unique port.
•
TCP client: Terminal Server makes a TCP connection to external TCP server.
•
UDP endpoint: Terminal Server forwards data between a UDP stream and a serial
port.
