  • Page 18: Selecting An Operation Mode

    Selecting an Operation Mode In this section, we describe the available operation modes for the MiiNePort W1. There is a mode that relies on a driver installed on the host computer, and other modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming concepts.

  • Page 19: Overview

    Selecting an Operation Mode Overview The MiiNePort W1 series connects serial devices to the wireless LAN. It has a built-in TCP/IP stack that saves you the effort of programming networking protocols. Simply select the proper operating mode to allow your computer to access, manage, and configure your serial device over the Internet.

  • Page 20: Udp Mode

    Real COM mode allows you to continue using your serial communications software to access devices that are now attached to the MiiNePort W1 series module. On the host, the Real COM driver automatically intercepts data sent to the COM port, packs it into a TCP/IP packet, and redirects it to the network. At the other end of the connection, the MiiNePort W1 series accepts the Ethernet frame, unpacks the TCP/IP packet, and sends the serial data to the appropriate device.
