DSR signal, and flow control. Once the serial port is set, the iPocket232 forwards the data to the serial device unchanged. If any changes to the Com Port or modem line occur, the iPocket232 will automatically send a notification packet to the host.
Page 29 Telnet Turns the iPocket232 into either a telnet client (most common use) or a telnet server and allows the user to telnet out of the iPocket232 to a remote server, such as a UNIX workstation. The standard connection control options are supported. By leaving the Connection Control parameter at Automatic (default setting), the user can initiate the telnet session by pressing any alphanumeric key.

In this configuration, the iPocket232 can communicate with the TCP/IP host as if it were virtually connected. Local Port, Remote Port, and Remote IP must be configured.
Page 31: Port Setting
Enter 4.2 Port Setting The serial port settings of the iPocket232 must match the settings of the attached serial device to enable communication. Settings include bit rate, data width, error detect, framing, and flow control. To avoid data loss, choose hardware flow control if you set the port speed to 19 200 bps or higher.

1 start bit + 8 data bits + 1 parity bit + 2 stop bits. Serial ports on the iPocket232, however, support only 10- and 11-bit transfers. Port configurations of 9, 12, or 13 bits are automatically converted by adding an extra stop bit to 9-bit transfers, and dropping stop bits and parity bits (if necessary) from 12- and 13-bit transfers.
Page 34 CTS is currently asserted. Modem Enables the iPocket232 to act as modem to a device connected to its serial port. The iPocket232 processes a superset of the standard Hayes command set, including the ability to answer, dial, and orig- inate a connection.
Page 35: Terminal Type (Telnet Protocol Only)
Local Port is the port number that listens for incoming connections. This option must be set if the iPocket232 will ever receive a session initiated from an outside source (in tcp(tunnel), tcp-server, and udp modes). If the iPocket232 will only be used to initiate sessions, this setting can be left at 0 (tcp-client mode).

Change which option? Setting the Terminators The iPocket232 continues to capture data from the serial port into the receive buffer until any one of six specific terminators is identified. Once this character is marked, the iPocket232 continues to capture a configurable number of characters (tail bytes), then terminates the frame and transmits it to the host.

IP protocol that encrypt both the payload data and the packet header. Encapsulated Secure Payload (ESP) for IP is defined in RFC1827. You can define up to two tunnels to securely connect the iPocket232 to two separate networks. IPsec contains computationally intensive algorithms. Enabling IPsec MPORTANT may cause a significant decrease in the speed/performance of the iPocket232.
Page 50: Protocol
5 Configuring the Security Settings iPocket232 User Guide Protocol The IPsec protocol defines the method of encryption and authentication to use through the IPsec tunnel. You can choose between two modes: DES-MD5-96 or 3DES-MD5- 96. Encoding is provided by DES (Data Encryption Standard), a secret key cryptog- raphy method.
Page 51: Secure Address
Secure Address Secure Address is an optional parameter to configure a “private” IP address for the iPocket232 on the network. This IP address can be the same or different from the IP address configured in the Ethernet Settings. If you leave the Secure address set to zero (0.0.0.0) it will display as “public” in the menu and automatically default to the configured or dynamic IP Address of the unit.
Page 52: Spi
5 Configuring the Security Settings iPocket232 User Guide SPI (Security Parameters Index) is a 32-bit hexadecimal number used to identify the security association of an IP packet. The SPI is used to look up the Encode and Authenticate Keys, and must be the same at both ends of the tunnel. The first 256 SPI values are reserved, but you can use any number from 100 hex up to FFFFFFFF hex as the SPI.
Page 53: Encode/Authenticate Keys
Enter Encode/Authenticate Keys Encode and Authenticate Keys are manually keyed in the iPocket232 by the user to provide IP packet security. Encode and Authenticate Keys must be the same on both ends of the IPsec tunnel. You must manually configure the remote end, a gateway or device, with the same encode and authentication keys as you configured in the iPocket232.
