Introduction

Quatech SDS User’s Manual

IP address and TCP port number of the network host to which it

should connect. If the SDS is idle, it will listen for normal Raw TCP
mode connections from the network host.

Raw UDP mode

Raw UDP is used primarily for broadcasting messages over a network.
It is lightweight and efficient; however, your application program

must handle all error processing and retransmission. Quatech

supports the following modes of UDP communication:

Note: Raw UDP can provide
one-to-many communications.

¾

Multicast (transmits to specified group of recipients)

¾

Broadcast (transmits to unspecified recipients)

¾

Point-to-Point (transmits to one recipient)

Identifying Quatech’s SDS product line

Quatech provides a family of SDS products. SSE-100, DSE-100, QSE-

100, and ESE-100 provide one, two, four, and eight RS-232 ports for
your serial devices, respectively. SSE-400, DSE-400, QSE-400, and

ESE-400 allow you to software-select between RS-232 and RS-

422/485 communications. For convenience, this manual refers to all
these products as SDS unless otherwise noted.

Table 1 - SDS models

Note: All models are available
with surge suppression as an

–SS option. For example, the 4-

port RS-232 unit with DB-9
connectors and surge suppression

would have a part number of
QSE-100D-SS.

Quatech’s SDS products all perform the same function (see notes),

differing mainly in the number of serial ports available or in the
serial protocol supported. All “D” models, which add a suffix of D to

the part number, (e.g. SSE-100D) are supplied with DB-9 connectors.

All “M” models, which add a suffix of M to the part number, (e.g.
QSE-100M) are supplied with 10-pin RJ-45 adapters that attach to

the DB-9 connectors.

Note: SDS products with a “W”
in their part numbers (such as

SSEW-100) implement Wi-Fi
technology. They provide serial-

to-wireless communications in

addition to all standard SDS
functions.

System requirements

Quatech’s SDS ships with device drivers for Windows 2000, Windows

NT4, Windows XP, and Linux. Other operating systems can access

the SDS using Raw TCP mode or the IntelliSock™ TCP socket
services. Quatech will provide reference materials and utilities to

assist those who wish to do so.
Contact our sales department for details on current software
offerings. Most device drivers are available for download from the

Quatech World Wide Web site at
