Paired Mode
Paired Mode (also called Serial Tunneling or Serial Bridge mode) allows
serial devices connected to two PES1A/PESV1A converters to communicate
across a network. The two PES1A/PESV1A converters automatically
connect to each other.
In Paired Mode the heartbeat feature ensures reliable communications by
restoring the connection if communications are temporarily lost at either end
due to loss of power or Ethernet connection.
Other Communications Modes
PES1A/PESV1A Converters also feature the following communications
profiles:
Terminal Mode allows you to connect a PC running terminal software to the
PES1A/PESV1A serial port and communicate with the PES1A/PESV1A via
a command line interface.
Modem Emulation Mode allows you to configure the serial port to operate
as if it is a modem. For legacy applications where a serial device is set up to
communicate through a modem, the serial device can now be connected to
the PES1A/PESV1A and communication occurs over the network. The
PES1A/PESV1A emulates modem responses to and from the serial device.
In Console Management Mode the PES1A/PESV1A can be configured for
connection to the management port typically found on network devices such
as routers, switches and servers. This allows remote management of the
network device. Communication can be accomplished using telnet to a
specific port in the converter.
Custom Mode allows you to custom configure the PES1A/PESV1A serial
port and is used if your application does not fit into any other predefined
modes.
