Serial Tunneling Configuration (use M06643K002)
The second option is known as the Serial Tunneling configuration ( Figure 16 ). In this
configuration, one adapter is connected to one of the Gasboy system’s serial ports and a
second adapter is connected to a serial port on the PC.
Note: This configuration works with Gasboy PC packages (such as PC/TopKAT, PC/1000,
PC/CFN).
Figure 16: Serial Tunneling Configuration
The Serial Tunneling configuration has two modes: Direct Connect and Modem Emulation.
• When using the Direct Connect mode, the adapters create a direct connection between the
PC and the Gasboy system that works as if the two (PC and system) had been hard-wired
together. When the adapters are powered up, they establish a TCP/IP link between them.
From that point on, anything transmitted from the PC serial port is sent directly to the
Gasboy system serial port and vice versa. Using this mode, communication can only be
established with one Gasboy system.
