signal to the remote end. MODBUS defines a “3.5-character”
parameter. [0–1,000; 0]
•
Buffer Size
—Maximum amount of characters, that the
Remote end will buffer locally before starting to transmit
data through the serial port. [0–100; 4]
•
IP Protocol
—TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) or
UDP (User Datagram Protocol). [TCP, UDP; TCP]
This is the type of IP port that will be offered by the trans-
ceiver serial device server. UDP requires configuration of
Send to Address
parameter.
NOTE:
TCP has guaranteed deliv-
ery, but at the expense of more overhead; UDP delivery is not
guaranteed, but has less overhead.
•
Send to Address
—The IP address to be used as a des-
tination for data received through the serial port. To reach
multiple Remotes in the network, use a multicast address at
the AP. Remotes in the network should have the multicast
address programmed in their
Send to Address
.
[Any legal IP address; 0.0.0.0]
•
Send to Port
—The IP port to which data packets
received from the device connected to the transceiver should
be sent. [Any valid IP port; COM1: 30010, COM2: 30011]
•
Receive on Port
—Receive IP data from this source and
pass it through to the connected serial device. The port num-
ber must be used by the application connecting to local TCP
socket. [Any valid IP port; COM1: 30010, COM2: 30011]
•
Receive on Address
—Must be configured with a valid
multicast address. IP packets received with a matching desti-
nation address will be terminated at this unit
[Any legal IP address; 0.0.0.0]
Used only for UDP multicast purposes
