EKI-1526(TI) | 1528(TI) User Manual
4.1
Overview
The EKI-1526(TI) | 1528(TI) are designed to network-enable any RS-232/422/485
serial device, an provides industry-grade hardware and easy-to-use software to
make connecting serial devices to an Ethernet network a surprisingly simple process.
These units immediately upgrade your existing serial devices for integration into the
Internet world. The EKI-1526(TI) | 1528(TI) feature many powerful functions, such as
high speed data transfer, access-control, auto-detection of all EKI series products,
and more.
After the simple installation steps to attach your network and serial device to the
appropriate connectors on the serial device servers and driver installation, you will be
able to communicate with the serial devices via its own application software and with
the EKI serial device server. COM port redirector, USDG TCP server mode, TCP
client mode, UDP server mode, UDP client mode, RFC2217 mode are all different
methods of making a serial connection across using one or more serial device
servers.
4.2
COM Port Redirector (Virtual COM Port)
Advantech EKI Device Configuration Utility is a serial COM port redirector that
creates virtual COM ports and provides access to serial device connected to
Advantech serial device server. You can configure the serial device server and
enable the Virtual COM port using one integrated utility. Advantech EKI Device
Configuration Utility allows you to configure Microsoft applications to communicate
with network enabled serial device servers as easily as if they were physically
installed in or directly connected on the PC.
The Advantech redirector can create up to 255 virtual COM ports. Application on the
host can open virtual COM port to access the serial device servers at the same time.
The redirector will handle each active virtual COM port as a separate TCP
connection to Advantech serial device servers.
