COM Redirector
Use the serial port of SerialGate as a virtual COM port in Windows
/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7/8.
TCP Server
SerialGate works as a socket server, waiting for the client
connection on the network. Socket number for awaiting connections
can be set in ‘Local socket port’ field. After socket connection, data
between socket and serial port will be transmitted.
TCP Client
SerialGate acts as a socket client in this mode. It tries to connect to
the server IP address and the socket number assigned when a
certain server waits for connection on the network.
All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred
untouched after the socket connection is established.
UDP Server
SerialGate works as a UDP server, waiting for UDP connection
from the client on the network.
Socket number for awaiting connections can be set in ‘Local socket
port’ field.
Once a UDP packet is received to the socket that waits for the
connection, the data is transmitted to the serial port. The data input
from the serial port is put into UDP packets, which eventually are
sent to the client.
UDP Client
When the data is input to the serial port, UDP packets are sent
using the preset IP address and the socket number of the server. IP
address and port number of the server that needs to connect are
set from the ‘Target IP/Port’.
