UMAX140900RST. Ethernet to CAN Converter. Version 1
Page: 27-41
Figure 24. The Converter Client Configuration Example
The values of the
Device Port Type, Remote IP Address
and
Remote Port
of the client on
Figure 24 are the same as the
Device Port Type
,
Device IP Address
and
Device Port
of the
server in Figure 23.
Please note, that if the converters are connected over the internet, the
Remote IP Address
of
the client will be a public IP address of the server, not the internal server IP address presented
as the
Device IP Address
on Figure 23. The network administrator on the server side will be
required to configure port forwarding to open internet access to the converter in the server
mode.
When the converter is configured as a client, it will still act as a server accepting connections
on the
Device Port
from other clients. This adds versatility to the converter configurations since
the same converter can be used together with both: client and server communication nodes.
As an example, the user can establish an unlimited number of daisy-chain client-server
connections, see: Figure 25.
