Serial Port Profiles
z
Disabled
- UDP service not enabled.
z
LAN to Serial
- This setting will allow UDP data to be received from one or more hosts on the
LAN and forwarded to the serial device attached to this serial port.
z
Serial to LAN
- This setting will allow data originating from the serial device attached to this
serial port to be sent to one or more hosts on the LAN using UDP datagrams.
z
Both
- Allows for data to flow from the serial device to the LAN and from the LAN to the serial
device.
The role of each of the configurable parameters in an entry depends on the “
Direction”
selected.
When the direction is "
LAN to Serial
" the role of the additional parameters is as follow;
z
Start IP Address
- This is the IP address of the host from which the UDP data will originate. If
the data will originate from a number of hosts, this becomes the starting IP address of a range.
z
End IP Address
- If you wish to receive data only from the single host defined by "Start IP
address", leave this entry as is (0.0.0.0). If you wish to accept data from a number of hosts, this
address will represent the upper end of a range starting from "Start IP Address". Only data
originating from this range will be forwarded to the serial port.
z
UDP port
- This is the UPD port from which the data will originate. There are three options for
this parameter.
z
Auto Learn
- The first UDP message received will be used to define which UDP port we are
going to accept UDP data from. Once learned, only data from this UDP port will be
accepted. The data must also originate from a host which is in the IP range defined for this
entry.
z
Any Port
- Any UDP port will be accepted as long as the data originates from a host in the IP
range defined for this entry.
z
Port
- Only data originating from the UDP port configured here as well as originating from a
host in the IP range defined for this entry will be accepted.
When the direction is "
Serial to LAN
" the role of the additional parameters is as follow;
z
Start IP Address
- This is the IP address of the host to which the serial data will be sent using
UDP datagrams. If the serial data is to be sent to more than one host, this becomes the starting IP
address of a range.
z
End IP Address
- If you wish to send serial data to a single host, leave this entry as is (0.0.0.0).
If you wish to send the serial data to a number of hosts, this address will represent the upper end
of a range starting from "Start IP Address".
z
UDP port
- This is the UPD port to which the serial data will be forwarded. For a direction of
"Serial to LAN", you must specify the port to be used.
When the direction is "
Both
" the role of the additional parameters is as follow;
z
Start IP Address
- This is the IP address of the host to which the serial data will be sent using
UDP datagrams. It is also the IP address of the host from which UDP data coming from the LAN
will be accepted from. If the data is to be sent to or received from more than one host, this
becomes the starting IP address of a range.
z
End IP Address
- If you wish to send serial data to a single host and only receive data from the
single UDP host, leave this entry as is (0.0.0.0). If the data is to be sent to or received from more
than one host, this address will represent the upper end of a range starting from "Start IP
Address". Only data originating from this range will be forwarded to the serial port.
