Raw TCP gateway

19.3.1

Raw TCP client

The Raw clie

nt gateway can be used if a serial “master” device has to send requests to one slave device (also

called server) located on the IP network.

The server can be either an ETIC gateway or a PC including a software TCP server.

To configure the gateway :

•

In the menu, choose

Setup > IP-RS gateways > Transparent > Raw client COMx

•

Tick the

Enable

checkbox.

•

Configure the following parameters.

Bitrate, Parity, Data, stop bits

Allow to set the bitrate and the format of the asynchronous serial link.

Receive buffer size

Set up the maximum length of an asynchronous string the gateway will store before transmitting it to the IP
network.

RS end frame timeout

Set up the delay the gateway will wait before declaring complete a string received from the asynchronous
device.
Once declared complete, the gateway will transmit the string to the IP network.

TCP idle Timeout

Set the time the gateway will wait before disconnecting the TCP link if no characters are detected.

TCP port

Set the port number the gateway has to use.

Warning : If two gateways of the same type are active on the two serial ports, they can not use the same TCP
port number.

Server IP address

Set the IP address of the Raw server. The gateway will connect to that server and send it the data received on
the serial link.
