Repeat above steps as desired, according to additional line(s) available on your product. Tunnel Settings Note: The number of lines and tunnels available for viewing and configuration differ between Lantronix DeviceLinx products. For example, an XPort Pro and EDS1100 support only one line while other device networking products (such as , EDS2100, EDS4100, XPort AR, EDS8/16PS and EDS8/16/32PR) provide 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 23) or the XPort Pro Command Reference for the full list of commands. The XPort Pro 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 XPort Pro 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 XPort Pro 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 XPort Pro Disconnect Mode observes the defined event occur, it will disconnect both Accept Mode and Connect Mode connections on that port. XPort Pro User Guide 36

Repeat above steps as desired, according to additional line(s) available on your product.
Tunnel Settings
Note:
The number of lines and tunnels available for viewing and configuration differ
between Lantronix DeviceLinx products.
For example, an XPort Pro and EDS1100
support only one line while other device networking products (such as , EDS2100,
EDS4100, XPort AR, EDS8/16PS and EDS8/16/32PR) provide 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 23)
or the
XPort Pro Command Reference
for the full list of commands.
The XPort Pro 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 XPort Pro 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 XPort Pro 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 XPort Pro
Disconnect Mode observes the defined event occur, it will disconnect both Accept Mode and
Connect Mode connections on that port.
Serial String
Enter the serial string characters. Select a string type.
Text
= string of bytes that must be read on the Serial Line during boot time to
enable Command Mode. It may contain a time element in x milliseconds, in
the format {x}, to specify a required delay.
Binary
= string of characters representing byte values where each
hexadecimal byte value starts with \0x and each decimal byte value starts
with \.
Echo Serial String
Select
Yes
to enable echoing of the serial string at boot-up.
CP Group
Enter the name and decimal value of the
CP Group
.
When the value matches
the current value of the group, Command Mode is enabled on the Serial Line.
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.
Note:
This string will be output on the serial port at boot, regardless of whether
command mode is enabled or not.
