9.2. NetCom
The Device oers serial ports named as COM1 and COM2. For remote control of the serial ports
the protocol known as RFC 2217 is used.
Figure 59: NetCom Conguration
The upper section COM1 congures operation of serial port COM1, while section COM2 congures
the COM2 port. By default the positions of the DIP switches decisive of the active mode. The
DIP switches are on the underside or back of the device. If the position of the DIP switches is
select by software (OFF OFF ON ON) the conguration of the SW-Mode is valid. The SW-Mode
supports the modes: RS-232, RS-422, RS-422 with termination, RS-485 full duplex, RS-485 full
duplex with termination, RS-485 half duplex, RS-485 half duplex with termination, DIP switches
congured mode and loopback mode.
The connection for remote control is via TCP/IP, so a TCP Port is required. By default the rst
serial port uses 5100, the next ports use 5101 and following (if there are more than two ports). The
serial ports then operate in the same way as the
Serial Device Servers. There
