Page 4: Characteristics And Basic Properties
IP Relay combines two relays controlled over Ethernet and RS- 232 / Ethernet converter. The device can reset a remote device via Ethernet or switch its power supply on or off. IP relay can be also used as a remote serial port. -
Page 5: Connection Topology
TCP/IP Client/Server mode - IP Relay keeps the TCP server function but when any data are received from the serial line, it is stored into the buffer, the IP relay switches into a TCP Client mode and tries to establish a TCP connection on the predefined IP address of the opposite side. -

Set DIP1 - DIP4 into OFF position Connect the IP Relay into Ethernet 10 Mbit or 10/100 Mbit. For direct connection to a PC use a crossed TP cable. For a connection to a hub/switch/router use classic TP patch cable. -
Page 9: Controlling The Ip Relay With The Ip Relay Control 1.2 Software
Controlling the IP Relay with the IP Relay Control 1.2 software IP Relay Control is software intended for easy testing and using the IP relay, which allows controlling the relay’s contacts by NVT commands through a graphic environment. IPRC is a simple utility, which does not require installation and besides the device controlling it also allows easy management of more devices and realization of the Reset function. -
Page 10: Controlling The Ip Relay With Hw Virtual Serial Port
Virtual serial port HW VSP includes simple functions for controlling the input/output binary lines of the devices produced by Hwgroup such as I/O Controller and IP Relay. These additional functions can be found in the Binary I/O bookmark of the HW Virtual Port Manager program. For more detailed information about HW Virtual serial port see the following chapter: HW VSP –... -
