Workflow to configure serial raw sockets for IP transport services

Stages

The following workflow describes the sequence of high-level tasks required to configure serial raw sockets for IP transport. This workflow assumes that the physical devices have been installed, commissioned, and discovered.


1	Create a socket profile and optionally, associate the Socket profile to a physical port on a 7705 SAR-Hm node. See To create a socket profile.
2	Configure the port level socket which includes serial link parameters and socket level configurations such as end-of-packet checking parameters and the inter-sessions delay for transmitting sessions data out of the serial link. See To configure a serial raw socket on a 7705 SAR.
3	As required, configure the remote-hosts for IP transport using the Local Host Entity Manager. See To configure a global entry using the Local Host Entity Manager and To modify a global entry.
4	Configure IP transport services to associate the serial port within either an IES or VPRN SAP allowing TCP/UDP encapsulated serial data to be routed within the corresponding Layer 3 service. This includes a loopback interface for IP transport local-hosts (servers), IP transport local-host and remote-hosts configuration, and the associated serial port SAP. See To configure IP transport on an IES site or To configure IP transport on a VPRN site.
5	If required, you can use the Check TCP Connection tool to test the health of a TCP connection from the client to the server. See To configure IP transport on an IES site or To configure IP transport on a VPRN site.
