  • Page 30 Description tcp(tunnel) Typical configuration for most applications. Use tcp(tunnel) mode when the iPocket232 must be able to initiate TCP connections and accept TCP connections from the host. 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 and press 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.
  • Page 32 When the remote end is ready to receive data, it asserts the CTS signal to tell the iPocket232 to start transferring data. If the remote end is unable to accept the data as fast as it is received from the iPocket232, the remote end negates CTS, and the iPocket232 suspends data transfer.

  • Page 33: Connection Control

    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 originate 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 Local sessions, this setting can be left at 0 (tcp-client mode).
