Setting Tunneling operating mode parameters 

Serial Tunneling allows two SDS units to create a virtual cable 

connection between each other’s serial ports with one end configured 

as a master and the other end as a slave. You set up the master with 
the slave’s IP address and serial port number that you want use for 

the virtual connection. The master finds the slave and makes the 

connection. The master configures the slave’s parameters (baud rate, 
parity, and so forth) as necessary. A master can connect either to an 

SDS in Normal mode or to a slave in Tunneling mode. 

 

 

On the slave end, all you have to do is click Slave and leave the rest of 

the Operating Mode settings blank. The slave waits for a master to 

connect to it and to provide the configuration parameters.  

A master connects to one of a slave’s serial ports. A second master can 

connect to another port on the slave at the same time. However, you 

can only have one Tunnel master/slave combination working at the 
same time between any single set of ports.
