4.2.1 COM Port Server
The COM Port Server software module is used for the connection of a GLT 3010 via network and CoDeSys and
is integrated in the Combi Gateway as standard.
A remote connection to a GLT 3010 was previously only possible using the "GLT modem switching" function.
With the increasing disappearance of modem connections and the establishment of network connections, the
problem arises that a GLT 3010 can no longer be accessed remotely. The COM Port Server has been deve­
loped to resolve this requirement.
The Combi Gateway makes its COM port (RS232) available via the network service so that the GLT 30105 can
be accessed via the network connection using CoDeSys; see chapter 6.6.6 for details.
