Signamax 065-1063FSx series RS-232/422/485 to 100Base/FX Device Server / Media Converter
28
EXPLANATION: Server/Client Mode Configuration
Operation Mode
TCP Server:
the TCP Server mode of the Device Server allows
TCP connections from up to four Device Servers with TCP Client
mode or PC with Serial IP Redirector program running.
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 peer-to-peer 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.
Serial Port Configuration
Operation Mode
A read-only attribute. It shows the RS232/422/485 mode set by the
DIP switch.
Baud Rate
The speed of the serial interface.
Parity
Select or disable the parity checking method
Word Length
The length of data in bits
Stop Bits
The bit length of stop bits
Flow Control
The flow control method for informing the correspondent
