Client/Server, Peer to Peer Connection
If you want to connect two devices which have only RS-485/422 Ports to each other via Ethernet network, you
can use this connecting method. Take two PH485Ex4. Set one PH485Ex4 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-485/422 PORT of Server, connects to RS-485/422 PORT of Client via network. Now
you can connect your RS-485/422 devices to COM Ports as shown in the following diagram.
