4. To return to the menu from your Linux session, press the configured Local Switch
key. In this case, the Local Switch is Ctrl-X (see Figure 4-10 ).
Note: Switch keys only work within sessions. They do not work from the menu
screen - you must enter a menu number to go to a session from the menu screen.
Serial Tunnel Example
Two ETS device servers can be connected to emulate a direct serial connection
across a LAN or WAN. Servers connected in this way can pass data only—they will
not be able to pass status signals (DSR/DTR, CTS/RTS, etc.) or preserve timing
between characters. The basic network configuration for this virtual serial line is
shown in Figure 4-15.

TCP Configuration
Assuming the ETS serial port parameters have been configured properly, the ETS
device servers in
Figure 4-15 are configured as follows:
ETS_A
Local> > DEFINE PORT 2 DEDICATED TELNET 192.168.5.10:3001T
Local> > DEFINE PORT 2 AUTOSTART ENABLED
ETS_B
Local> > DEFINE PORT 3 ACCESS REMOTE
Local> > DEFINE PORT 3 DEDICATED NONE
Local> > DEFINE PORT 3 AUTOSTART DISABLED
Note: If the ETS device servers are on different IP subnets, configure the
default gateway on each unit with the Change Gateway command.
The above commands create a raw (8-bit clean) TCP connection between ETS_A
port 2 and ETS_B port 3 once the units have been power-cycled. The commands for
ETS_A ensure that it will automatically connect to ETS_B each time it is booted. The
commands for ETS_B ensure that it is always available to accept connections from
ETS_A. Once this connection is made, data is able to travel in both directions.
Note: You must log out the ETS ports after configuring them so that the commands
can take effect.
