UDP Mode

：

UDP is

 

a faster but non-guaranteed datagram delivery protocol.SE5001 can be configured as 

a UDP mode on TCP/IP Network to establish a connection using unicast or multicast data from the serial 
device to one or multiple host computers. Vice versa is also true.

 

 

 

Tunneling Mode

：

In the case of the serial connection is established with two or more SE5001 to send 

data over TCP/IP Network .It can avoid RS-232 interface 15 meter distance limitation imposed.
