Start hexadecimal values with 0x. Note: This string will be output on the serial port at boot, regardless of whether command mode is enabled or not. Tunnel Settings Note: The number of lines and tunnels available for viewing and configuration differ between Lantronix DeviceLinx products. The screenshots in this manual represent one line and tunnel, as available, for example, on an XPort Pro and EDS1100. However, other device networking products (such as EDS2100, EDS4100, XPort AR, and EDS8/16/ 32PR) support additional lines and tunnels. Tunneling allows serial devices to communicate over a network, without "being aware" of the devices which establish the network connection between them. Tunneling parameters are configured using the Web Manager or Command Mode Tunnel Menu. See Configuration Using Web Manager (on page 33) or the EDS1100/2100 Command Reference for the full list of commands. The EDS1100/2100 supports two tunneling connections simultaneously per serial port. One of these connections is Connect Mode; the other connection is Accept Mode. The connections on one serial port are separate from those on another serial port.  Connect Mode: the EDS1100/2100 actively makes a connection. The receiving node on the network must listen for the Connect Mode's connection. Connect Mode is disabled by default.  Accept Mode: the EDS1100/2100 listens for a connection. A node on the network initiates the connection. Accept Mode is enabled by default.  Disconnect Mode: this mode defines how an open connection stops the forwarding of data. The specific parameters to stop the connection are configurable. Once the EDS1100/2100 Disconnect Mode observes the defined event occur, it will disconnect both Accept Mode and Connect Mode connections on that port. When any character comes in through the serial port, it gets copied to both the Connect Mode connection and the Accept Mode connection (if both are active). You can view statistics and configure two tunnels by using the Tunnel web page. When you click Tunnel from the Main Menu, Tunnel 1 fields display. To go to Tunnel 2, click the Tunnel 2 button.

Tunnel Settings
Note:
The number of lines and tunnels available for viewing and configuration differ
between Lantronix DeviceLinx products.
The screenshots in this manual represent one
line and tunnel, as available, for example, on an XPort Pro and EDS1100. However, other
device networking products (such as EDS2100, EDS4100, XPort AR, and EDS8/16/
32PR) support additional lines and tunnels.
Tunneling allows serial devices to communicate over a network, without “being aware” of the
devices which establish the network connection between them. Tunneling parameters are
configured using the Web Manager or Command Mode Tunnel Menu.
See
Configuration Using
Web Manager (on page 33)
or the EDS1100/2100 Command Reference for the full list of
commands.
The EDS1100/2100 supports two tunneling connections simultaneously per serial port. One of
these connections is Connect Mode; the other connection is Accept Mode. The connections on
one serial port are separate from those on another serial port.
Connect Mode:
the EDS1100/2100 actively makes a connection. The receiving node on the
network must listen for the Connect Mode’s connection. Connect Mode is disabled by default.
Accept Mode:
the EDS1100/2100 listens for a connection. A node on the network initiates the
connection. Accept Mode is enabled by default.
Disconnect Mode:
this mode defines how an open connection stops the forwarding of data.
The specific parameters to stop the connection are configurable. Once the EDS1100/2100
Disconnect Mode observes the defined event occur, it will disconnect both Accept Mode and
Connect Mode connections on that port.
When any character comes in through the serial port, it gets copied to both the Connect Mode
connection and the Accept Mode connection (if both are active).
You can view statistics and configure two tunnels by using the Tunnel web page. When you click
Tunnel from the Main Menu, Tunnel 1 fields display. To go to Tunnel 2, click the Tunnel 2 button.
Serial String
Enter the serial string characters. Select a string type.

hexadecimal byte value starts with \0x and each decimal byte value starts
with \.

Select
Yes
to enable echoing of the serial string at boot-up.
Signon Message
Enter the boot-up signon message. Select a string type.
Text
= string of bytes sent on the serial line during boot time.
Binary
= one or more byte values separated by commas. Each byte value
may be decimal or hexadecimal. Start hexadecimal values with 0x.
