VESP211 Serial Server Operational Connections
VESP211 Serial Servers can operate in Direct IP, Virtual COM Port and Paired
Modes.
In Direct IP Mode applications using TCP/IP or UDP/IP socket programs can
communicate with the COM ports on the serial server. In this type of
application the serial server is configured as a TCP or UDP server. The socket
program running on the PC establishes a communication connection with the
serial server. The data is sent directly to and from the serial port on the
server.
