3.6.3.1 LAN
Analogous to the direct connection via RS232 a single device can be connected directly to the PC via
TCP/IP. In this case the device is connected to the PC with a CAT-5 network cable (in case of direct
connection with crossover; in case of connection via router,... with patch cable) via the RJ45 jack.

3.6.3.2 Transition from TCP/IP to RS232
In order to connect a single device via RS232 to a TCP/IP network a COM-server has to be used. The
COM-server serves as converter.
Figure 18: TCP/IP to RS232
The necessary settings of the COM-server will be explained using the W&T COM-server as example.
The COM-server can be configured easily via the Wutility.exe program.
1.) Open the W&T program
2.) Open "‘inventory"’ and then "‘scan local network"’
3.) Mac-address is displayed at the menu; click on it
4.) Adjust IP-address via "‘Configuration"’ and "‘Assign IP-Address"’
5.) Click on telnet (screen) button
6.) The telnet menu is shown
7.) Press key 3 (setup port 0) and then 2 (UART setup)
8.) Further settings see below
9.) Save setup and close program
10.) Hardware settings see manual of the COM-server
