  • Page 8: Introduction

    The SE 5002 Series can be operated in one of the following 4 modes: TCP Server Mode：SE5002 can be configured in a TCP server mode on an Ethernet Network to wait for the host computer to establish a connection with the serial device ( the client). After the connection is established, data can flow in both directions (Fig.1 TCP Server Mode).

  • Page 9: Fig. 2. Tcp Client Mode

    ABLELink Ethernet Serial Server SE5002 TCP Client Mode：SE5002 can be configured in a TCP client mode on a TCP/IP Network to actively establish a connection with an applications server –the host computer. After the connection is established, data can flow in both directions (Fig 2 TCP Client Mode).
