Signamax 065-1063FSx series RS-232/422/485 to 100Base/FX Device Server / Media Converter
31
TCP Client Mode:
This mode lets the Device Server act as a bridge for serial devices
that must communicate with server hosts like the Linux, UNIX, and Windows systems.
In this Client mode, the Device Server establishes a temporary TCP connection with
the servers automatically after powering up. All the data received from the serial device
is then sent to remote servers. The servers can also send data back to the serial
device while the connection is active. The Device Server automatically ends the
connection when all information is sent and the connection becomes idle for a
specified length of time. It will reestablish the connection when it receives data from
the serial device.
In TCP
Server
mode (previous section), the Device Server
waits
for the control host to
initiate communication with the serial device. Conversely, in TCP
Client
mode the
Device Server
initiates
communication with one or up to four remote devices
simultaneously – when the serial device experiences a communication event and
prompts the Device Server to initiate communications.
6.3.4 Serial Connect Status
Serial Connect Status
will show the serial port connection to the serial device. Serial
port settings can only be changed when using Media Converter mode.
User can get instant information about the connectivity status.
