Portbase User Guide
J
COM(Win98/ME)
Use the serial ports of Portbase as the COM ports of Windows 98/ME operated PC. (Both
the data and the signal line information of the serial port can be controlled.)
J
TCP Server
Portbase works as a socket server, waiting for the client connection on the network.
Socket number for awaiting connections can be set in ‘Socket Number’ field.
All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred untouched after the socket
connection is established.
J
TCP Client
Portbase acts as a socket client in this mode. It tries to connect to the server IP address
and the socket number assigned when a certain server waits for connection on the
network.
All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred untouched after the socket
connection is established.
J
TCP Server(M)
Portbase works as a server, accepting upto 5 simultaneous connections from socket
clients.
Data transmitted from Portbase is broadcast to each socket client.
J
UDP Server
Portbase works as a UDP server, waiting for UDP connection from the client on the
network.
Socket number for awaiting connections can be set in ‘Socket Number’ field.
Once a UDP packet is received to the socket that waits for the connection, the data is
transmitted to the serial port. The data input from the serial port is put into UDP packets,
which eventually are sent to the client.
J
UDP Client
When the data is input to the serial port, UDP packets are sent using the preset IP
address and the socket number of the server.
J
X-Console

when X-Console is linked to Portbase for better management and performance.
