  RS232 (RTS/CTS, DTR/DSR):   

  TxD, RxD – transfer and receive data. 

  RTS/CTS – flow control. 

  DTR – socket connection status, DSR – socket connection control. 

 

  RS485 (Half duplex): half duplex. 

  RS422 (Full duplex): full duplex. 

 

RS422/RS485 interface applied to serial port #1 only 

Packet mode of 

serial input 

If packet mode is disabled, the data received from the serial port will be 

transmitted immediately with minimal delay. If packet mode is enabled, the data 

will be saved in the buffer memory first, and transmitted when the entire packet is 

received or when the buffer memory is full. 

Device ID 

User assigned device ID number. Acceptable range is 0 to 65535. 

Report device ID 

when connected 

If this function is enabled, the device will report the device ID after the socket is 

connected. The format is: 

 

Serial port #1 

nnnnnA 

Serial port #2 

nnnnnB 

Serial port #3 

nnnnnC 

Serial port #4 

nnnnnD 

Keyboard port 

nnnnnE 

There are eight bytes: “nnnnn” is the 5-digit device ID, [LF] is decimal 10, and 

[CR] is decimal 13.   

Setup password 

The login password can be empty of 1 to 15 characters long. If the password is 

empty then no password is required for login. 

Access 

password 

This is the password for socket connection. It can be empty or 1 to 15 characters 

long. If the password is empty, then no password is required for socket 

connection. If the password is not empty, then it must be entered immediately 

after socket connection is made. If the password is not entered within 10 

seconds or a wrong password is entered, then LanConn-400 will automatically 

disconnect. If a wrong password is entered for three times in a roll, no connection 

is allowed within 20 minutes. 

Serial Port 1 

Socket port : 100 TCP Server 

Interface : RS 232 

Baud rate, parity, data and stop bits : 9600, None, 8, 1
