  • Page 21: Choosing The Proper Operation Mode

    Choosing the Proper Operation Mode In this chapter, we describe the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 various operation modes. The options include an operation mode that uses a driver installed on the host computer, and operation modes that rely on TCP/IP socket programming concepts. After choosing the proper operation mode in this chapter, refer to Chapter 5 for detailed configuration parameter definitions.

  • Page 22: Overview

    IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Overview IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 serial device servers network-enable traditional RS-232/422/485 devices, in which a Serial Device Server is a tiny computer equipped with a CPU, real-time OS, and TCP/IP protocols that can bi-directionally translate data between the serial and Ethernet formats. Your computer can access, manage, and configure remote facilities and equipment over the Internet from anywhere in the world.

  • Page 23: Rfc2217 Mode

    IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Choosing the Proper Operation Mode ATTENTION Real COM Mode allows several hosts to have access control over the same IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485. The driver that comes with your IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 controls host access to attached serial devices by checking the host’s IP address. Refer to Accessible IP Settings in Chapter 5 for more details. RFC2217 Mode RFC2217 mode is similar to Real COM mode in that a driver is used to establish a transparent connection between a host computer and a serial device by mapping the serial port on the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 to...

  • Page 24: Udp Mode

    IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Choosing the Proper Operation Mode UDP Mode Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode, you can not only unicast but also multicast data from the serial device to multiple host computers, and the serial device can also receive data from multiple host computers, making this mode ideal for message display applications.

  • Page 25: Disabled Mode

    IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Choosing the Proper Operation Mode Console management is commonly used by connecting to Console/AUX or COM ports of routers, switches, and UPS units. Rtelnet works the same as RAW mode in that only one TCP port is listened to after booting up. The system then waits for a host on the network to initiate a connection.

    IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 Web Console Configuration IP Address Report When IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 products are used in a dynamic IP environment, users need to spend more time with IP management tasks. For example, if the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 works as a server (TCP or UDP), then the host, which acts as a client, must know the IP address of the server. If the DHCP server assigns a new IP address to the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485, the host needs a way to determine the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485’s new IP address.

    IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 IP Serial LIB COM Mapping Windows Administration Suite comes with Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP/7 Real COM drivers. After you install S/E-Converter Administrator, there are two ways to set up the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 serial port as your host’s remote COM port. The first way is with On-line COM Mapping. On-line COM Mapping will check to make sure that the IE-CS(T)-2TX-xRS232/485 is connected correctly to the network and then install the driver on the host computer.
