Introduction Introduction Paired Mode Paired Mode (also called Serial Tunneling or Serial Bridge mode) allows serial devices connected to two PES1A/PESV1A converters to communicate across a network. The two PES1A/PESV1A converters automatically connect to each other. In Paired Mode the heartbeat feature ensures reliable communications by restoring the connection if communications are temporarily lost at either end due to loss of power or Ethernet connection.
