BB-VESP211X SERIAL SERVER OPERATIONAL CONNECTIONS

BB-VESP211x Serial Servers can operate in Direct IP, Virtual COM Port and Paired Modes.
In Direct IP Mode applications using TCP/IP or UDP/IP socket programs can communicate with the COM
ports on the serial server. In this type of application the serial server is configured as a TCP or UDP
server. The socket program running on the PC establishes a communication connection with the serial
server. The data is sent directly to and from the serial port on the server.
