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 

 or the EDS Command Reference for the full list of commands.

The EDS 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.



 the EDS actively makes a connection. The receiving node on the network 

must listen for the Connect Mode’s connection. Connect Mode is disabled by default.



 the EDS listens for a connection. A node on the network initiates the 

connection. Accept Mode is enabled by default.



 this mode defines how an open connection stops the forwarding of data. 

The specific parameters to stop the connection are configurable. Once the EDS 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).
