Submenu Item Description
Server/Client Type Defines whether the Device Server is acting as a
server or a client. In Device Server Mode, this
setting will always be Server. In Converter Mode,
this setting can be either Server or Client.
Remote IP In Converter Mode, enter the IP address of the
remote device. This field is NOT USED in Device
Server Mode.
TCP Port Number Device Server mode (DS): the TCP port number is
the number that the Device Server uses to listen for
connections; also, other devices must use this port
to contact the Device Server.
Converter mode:
both converters use the TCP port
number to communicate with the host.
Connection Idle Time This setting only applies to Converter Mode. The
time value (in seconds) is the maximum time that
the TCP port will remain open with no activity.
Once the time value is reached, the Device server
closes the port to prevent the port from remaining
open indefinitely. This field is NOT USED in
Device Server mode.
DS/CR Modes Device server (DS) mode, also know as TCP/IP
mode, is used to connect a serial device to a host via
an Ethernet network. This mode allows using an
existing COM-port-based software platform across
an existing Ethernet LAN. See Figure 22.
