Tcp Client (Data Mode); Serial Tunneling Mode - Advantech EKI-1528 User Manual

2.1.3

TCP Client (Data Mode)

In the TCP Client mode, the TCP connection will be established from the EKI-1500
serial device server. This operation mode supports a max. of 16 simultaneous con-
nections for each serial port on the EKI-1500 serial device servers to one host or sev-
eral hosts. You should configure the IP address and TCP port number of the network
hosts which the EKI-1500 serial device server connect to using Advantech Serial
Device Server Configuration Utility. After configuration, when EKI-1500 serial device
server receives the data from serial port, the device server will employ the connection
to hosts which are configured.
2.1.4

Serial Tunneling Mode

Two native serial devices can communicate over an Ethernet network without any
intermediate host PC and software programming. Serial Tunneling is very simple to
use. You can use Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility to designate
one serial port as the tunneling master and another serial device server port as the
tunneling slave.
