Airolinx Wireless Serial-Ethernet Server
STW-601C
- 5 -
This mode can be used to extend the normal serial communication distance of 15 m to 100 m or longer.
STW can be configured to the TCP Server Mode and waits for the host computer to establish a
connection with a serial device (the client). After the connection is established, data can flow in both
directions (also see Chapter 4 Method of Configuration), and hence enables two or more serial devices to
communicate with one another over IP network.
TCP –Server & Client
One may establish a connection between a TCP Server and a TCP Client for Master /Slave PLCs or other
serial devices.

Configuring SE Series to Tunneling Mode
Using one of the four configuration methods (Telnet, Web, console and LCM controller)
, one may configure
STW to TCP Server mode with a listening 4660 port, and with other serial servers configured as TCP
Clients
Tip
:
TCP server shall assign the destination IP and the destination port corresponding to TCP client’s
listening port (example: TCP 4660 port).
