Server Properties ESERV-1xT Serial Servers23 ESERV-1xT (Rev. 1210)LINK STATUSLink Status of the currently selected serial server is shown on the Login page of the Ethernet Serial ServerManager. Link status indicates the type of Ethernet connection between the computer and serial server. It will eitherdisplay 10BaseT or 100BaseTX in full duplex or half duplex. Link status is dependant on the LAN, switches, hubsused in the LAN topology.MAC ADDRESSThe MAC Address is a hardware level address of the serial server that cannot be changed. It is assigned in thefactory. Every Ethernet device manufactured has it own unique MAC address. The MAC address of each serialserver is printed on the device's label. The MAC address of the currently selected serial server is also displayed onthe Login page of the Ethernet Serial Server Manager.MODELThe Model number of the currently selected serial server is displayed on the Login page of the Ethernet SerialServer Manager.NETWORK PROTOCOLSNetwork Protocols available for use on ESERV-1xT serial servers include TCP, UDP, VCOM and Paired Mode .NETWORK WATCHDOGNetwork Watchdog controls the duration of network inactivity when a network connection is determined idle andcauses the connection to be forced closed. The range is 1 through 65535 milliseconds.PAIRED MODEPaired Mode enables two serial servers to operate across the network like a "wire replacement" between two serialdevices. (Paired Mode is also called SERIAL TUNNELING.) Serial devices connected to serial servers on eachend of the link can communicate as it they were connected by a serial cable.For Paired Mode to work one serial server must be configured as a TCP server and the other as a TCP client.The serial server configured as the TCP client initiates connections. You must set up the IP address and portnumber of the server that you want the client (serial server) to communicate with. You also select whether you wantthe serial server to connect at power up or only when it receives data from the device connected to its serial port.The serial server configured as a TCP server waits for connections to be initiated by another network device. Youmust set up the TCP port number on which it will listen for connections and set the maximum (up to eight) numberof simultaneous connections it will accept. You can filter the connections it will accept based on specific IPaddresses or ranges of IP addresses that you specify.PASSWORDWhen you first receive the ESERV-1xT serial server from the factory the Password is blank so that you can initiallyaccess the serial server without entering a value into this field. To ensure security you should create and save apassword the first time you configure the serial server. After a password has been set up it must be entered each timeyou login to the Ethernet Serial Server Manager. The password is used to access the configuration pages from thethe Ethernet Serial Server Manager Login page and can be changed from the General page. |
