Enter the remote port number of tunneling target. Connection method Select connection method to the target. LNX-002 and an attached serial device must agree on the baud rate to use for the serial connection. Valid baud rates are 300, 600, Baudrate 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400, 57600, 115200, 230400, 460800 or 921600.

Item Contents TCP keepalive time defines how many seconds LNX-002 waits during an inactive connection before checking its status. If the unit TCP keepalive does not receive a response, it drops that connection. Enter a value between 0 and 60 seconds. 0 disables keepalive.
7.3. Write Setting Data 1. Open Setting Tool for LNX series (LNX SETTING TOOL Ver*.*). Select “LNX-002/LNX-002e LAN to RS232C Converter”, and click “OK”. 3. Enter the setting such as network or serial. 4. Insert a microSD card to PC (A USB adapter is included with the product) Click “Saving data”.

You can use the software that creates Virtual COM ports on your PC. You can use the COM port to communicate to an IP address of LNX-002. Rather than going out the local port, the data is transmitted across the Ethernet network using TCP/IP. LNX-002 attached to the network receives the data and transfers it from its own serial port to the attached equipment.
