Signamax 065-1063FSx series RS-232/422/485 to 100Base/FX Device Server / Media Converter
17
TCP Client:
the TCP Client mode of the Device Server can
establish up to four TCP connections with Device Servers of TCP
Server mode.
UDP Server:
the UDP Server mode of the Device Server allows
the communication initiated from up to four UDP Clients.
UDP Client:
the UDP Client mode can communicate with up to
four UDP Servers in UDP communication model.
Device Server:
the Device Server acts as Server role of RFC-
2217 COM Port Control Protocol.
Converter Mode:
two Device Servers communicate with each
other through point-to-point architecture in TCP communication
model. The TCP Client and Server roles of two Device Server
peers are negotiated automatically.
Remote IP 1~4
IP addresses of the other end device or Serial IP Redirector
workstations.
Port
The TCP port number corresponding to each remote IP that
the TCP Server is bound to.
Status
Toggle between “Enable” and “Disable” for activating or
deactivating the second to the fourth remote IP/Port entries.
Connection Idle
Time
In seconds. The TCP Server or Client will disconnect the TCP
session if no packets are transmitted in the set period.
Packet mode
(serial)
Enabled – input data from the serial interface is treated as serial
packets.
Disabled – input data from the serial interface is treated as bit
streams.
Packet mode
inter-packet
timeout
In milliseconds. The delimiter value for recognizing the timeout
gap between serial packets if Packet Mode is enabled.
Delimiter1(Hex)/
Status
Besides the inter-packet timeout, serial packets can be delimited
by one or two trailer bytes of specific values. Delimiter 1 is the
hexadecimal number of the first delimiter byte. Toggle to “Enable”
on the “Status” field for delimiting serial packets according to
trailer byte rather than inter-packet timeout.
Delimiter2(Hex)/
Status
The hexadecimal number of the second delimiter byte. If this byte
is “Disable” and the Delimiter 1 is “Enable”, the delimiter byte
length is one.
Delimiter Process Do Nothing: keep the delimiter bytes when transforming to IP
packets.
Strip Delimiter: Strip off the delimiter bytes when transforming to
IP packets.
NOTE:
For Device Server Mode, in case you are using a serial device with a 2-wire RS-485
application or Modbus RTU protocol, do not forget to “
Enable
” the “Packet” mode of
serial input. Also enter the appropriate inter-packet timeout value or delimiter byte
values to enable smooth data communication.
To set the timeout value via console mode, first “
Enable
” the packet mode and “Save”
the settings. Once settings are applied, you will be able to change the timeout or
delimiter values.
