    Knowing Your Application Chapter 3 This chapter discusses a variety of applications for CN2510 Async Server. Refer to the following diagrams to see which application matches your own. Determining your application will help you save time configuring both the hardware and software. CN2510 is a Async Server that can multitask, supporting various operation modes for different serial ports.

  • Page 30: Windows Real Com (Nt Real Com Mode)

    Windows Real COM (NT Real COM mode) Moxa offers the COM port driver for the whole series of Windows to control Moxa CN2510 Async Server’s serial ports. Through CN2510 Async Server, many applications which implemented serial boards can be enhanced to an Ethernet environment without modifying the software they are using right now.

  • Page 31: Device Control (Aspp, Raw Mode)

    Knowing Your Application Device Control (ASPP, RAW mode) For Device Control application, users can use standard Linux/Unix Socket programming in Linux/Unix or WinSock programming in the Windows environment to directly control devices’ data transmission. In this application, users use the standard Socket programming to communicate with the CN2510, and the operation mode used is TCP RAW mode, focusing only on data transmission without serial port control or serial modem signals control.

  • Page 32: Console Management (Rtelnet Mode)

    Console Management (Rtelnet mode) Console management is commonly used upon Console/AUX or COM port of routers, switches, and UPS. Rtelnet works the same as RAW mode that they only listen to one specific TCP port after booting up, and wait for the host on the network to initiate the connection. The difference is that the RAW mode does not provide conversion function of telnet protocol.

  • Page 33: Multi-Host Tty (Fix Tty Mode)

    Knowing Your Application Multi-host TTY (Fix TTY mode) When terminals need to communicate with multiple Unix hosts on the network via several simultaneous sessions, Multi-host TTY is the ideal method for transmission. When the communication starts, the Unix server on the network have to enable Moxattyd first to activate TTY port’s mapping function.

The Internet uses a hop-by-hop routing model, which means that each host or router that handles a packet examines the Destination Address in the IP header, computes the next hop that will bring the packet one step closer to its destination, and then delivers the packet to the next hop, where the process is repeated.

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is a widely used protocol for managing routing information within a self-contained network, such as a corporate LAN (Local Area Network) or an interconnected group of such LANs. Using RIP, a gateway host with a router sends its entire routing table, which lists all the other hosts it knows about, to its closest neighbor host every 30 seconds.
