  • Page 8: Application Connectivity

    1.3 Application Connectivity TCP Server Mode： SE5001 can be configured as a TCP server in TCP/IP Network to listen for an incoming TCP client connection to the serial device. After the connection is established between the serial device server and the host computer, data can be transmitted in both directions. This also applies to Virtual COM running in the server mode.
  • Page 9 UDP is a faster but connectionless network protocol. It does not guarantee the delivery of network datagrams. SE5001 can be configured to transfer data using unicast or multicast UDP from the serial device to one or multiple host computers. Data can be transmitted between serial device and host computer in both directions.
  • Page 10 SE5001s can be pair together (pair connection) to communicate over TCP or UDP transparently. The serial device would be unaware of the change in the communication medium. Figure 1.1 Tunneling Mode Copyright © 2017 Atop Technologies, Inc. All rights reserved. Designed in Taiwan.
