Client/Server, Peer to Peer Connection
If you want to connect two devices which have only RS-232 Ports to each other via Ethernet network, you can
use this connecting method. Take two PH232Ex1Plus. Set one PH232Ex1Plus as Server and another one as Client
with adding Remote Server IP and Port Number on it. These two converters are connecting automatically via
network to each other, so RS-232 PORT of Server, connects to RS-232 PORT of Client via network. Now you can
connect your RS-232 devices to COM Ports as shown in the following diagram.
