26 Terminal Server
26.1 Introduction
Terminal Server is a background application (a daemon) whose main task is to
forward data between TCP connections or UDP streams and asynchronous serial
ports.
Terminal Server application serves up to 4 sessions simultaneously one for each
async serial port, depending on the device. Each Terminal Server session has an
IP endpoint and an associated specific serial port.
26.2 Terminal Server interfaces
You can configure the IP endpoint of each Terminal Server session to be:
• TCP server: each session is listening on a unique port.
• TCP client: Terminal Server makes a TCP connection to external TCP
server.
• UDP endpoint: Terminal Server forwards data between a UDP stream and
a serial port.
