Bridge Mode
This setting is used to configure the device's mode of operation.
Bridge Mode Disabled
With Bridge Mode Disabled, the Serial Server (RS-232 or CS I/O),
PakBus, and Secure Proxy Server functionalities are available. Refer to
the respective device settings for the configuration of these functionalities.
Bridge Mode Enabled
With Bridge Mode Enabled, the device will act as a bridge from Ethernet
to CS I/O. All IP packets that come in to the device via Ethernet will be
communicated to a datalogger over the CS I/O port. Some filtering is done
in order to minimize the amount of traffic on the CS I/O port but every
packet that is transmitted to the logger is sent intact as a complete
Ethernet/TCP packet. This enables the datalogger to use its TCP/IP stack
to interpret the packet and therefore all of the datalogger's TCP services
are available. In Bridge mode none of the other device settings are valid
and all other functionality is disabled. All settings (i.e. IP, netmask,
gateway) are configured in the datalogger.
When the device is configured in bridge mode it is not possible
to configure it via TCP or open a telnet session with it.
