Ethernet and the outputs of serial port are mixed. When the EKI-1511L receives data from serial port, the data will also be transmitted to the connected hosts simultaneously. -
Page 45: Usdg Data Mode
USDG Data Mode The EKI-1511L can function as either a Data TCP server or a Data TCP client. Both operations support TCP and UDP protocol. The EKI-1511L allows you to treat your serial devices as if they were networking devices. You can issue commands or transmit data from serial devices, connected to a EKI-1511L device, to any devices that are connected to the Internet. -
Page 46: Usdg Data Tcp Server Mode
4.3.2 USDG Data TCP Server mode In TCP server mode, the TCP connection is initiated from the host to the EKI-1511L device server. This operation mode supports a maximum of five simultaneous connections for each serial port on an EKI-1511L device server from a single or multiple hosts. - Page 47 The default TCP/UDP port of the EKI-1511L Port1 is 5300. Users can adjust them according to preference or application. Each port has its own data listen port to accept the connection requests of other network device.
-
Page 48: Usdg Control Mode
USDG Control Mode In controlling mode, the EKI-1511L device server presents a modem interface to the attached serial device: it accepts AT-style modem commands to connect / disconnect to other networking device. If you want a serial device running application program to connect/disconnect to different devices on request, this function is available through the USDG Control mode. -
