Mux Reference

For details on using Mux as a line protocol, please see TruPort Socket (Mux).

Initial Setup

The selected serial Line on the device must be configured with Protocol set to “Mux” and with line settings compatible with the connected device. Some kind of flow control is required.

The Mux intentionally has no configurables, as its behavior is governed entirely by the Mux commands themselves.

Note

When Bridging is enabled on Interface ap0 or wlan0, Mux network connections to that Interface will not work, since inbound packets are sent to the bridged device.

Some commands offer binary-escape encoding for data transfer. To use these commands, data must be 8 bits (not 7) and flow control must be hardware (not software). If these commands cannot be used due to the line settings, data transfer can be achieved via alternate commands using hex encoding.
