Scenario Operation Procedure
In above diagram, the "IOG Gateway" is the gateway that attaches a serial device and
the gateway has a 3G/LTE WAN interface to connect to the Internet. A remote Internet
host computer whose IP address is 140.116.82.98 has a management system in it to
collect the serial data from or send data to the serial device via the gateway. Please be
noted that the operation mode of the virtual COM function in the gateway is "UDP".
The Internet Host Computer can directly send UDP data to the serial device via the
gateway, and also receive UDP data from the serial device via the game at the same
time. The gateway supports up to 4 Internet host computers.
Virtual COM Setting
Virtual COM setting screen enables user to connect a Virtual COM port based device to the Internet.
It allows user to access serial data remotely. There are TCP Client, TCP Server, UDP, and RFC2217
four modes of remote connections available.
Once completed the Virtual COM setting, ensure to select Virtual COM Operation Mode in Port
Configuration to enable it for the serial port. Go to Advanced Network > Communication Bus > Port
Configuration tab
