5 Transparent serial port
The serial port of the device is suitable for bidirectional transparent data transfer over the Internet.
It can be used for e.g. remote programming of the connected alarm control panel or can provide
a solution for remote communication of other devices or equipment which are using an RS232
serial port. The Internet connection between the remote device or equipment and the computer is
ensured by the
ecoLINE PRO
and the
Remote Serial Client
software. For this, the serial port of
the
ecoLINE PRO
should be connected to the serial port of the given device or equipment,
and then data can be sent to and received from the device or equipment on the PC through the
virtual serial port created by the
Remote Serial Client
software.
5.1 Remote programming of alarm control panels
For remote programming, the device establishes transparent serial data communication through
IP connection. The remote connection between the programming software of the alarm system
and the alarm control panel is ensured by the
ecoLINE PRO
device and the
Remote Serial Client
software. For this, the serial port of the
ecoLINE PRO
should be connected to the serial port of
the alarm control panel, and the programming software of the alarm system connects to the virtual
serial port created by the
Remote Serial Client
software.
Attention!
The transparent serial data transfer works through the cloud service only. Therefore,
in order to use this function it is necessary for the device to be connected to the cloud server.
Attention! Please note that data transfer through the serial port of the ecoLINE PRO
may
generate high data traffic, which may result in an increased data usage on the SIM card
installed in the device.
