Figure 3. Both computers can initiate connections.
Accepting Inbound Connections Only
If a Serial/IP COM port is configured to only accept connections:
? User Credentials are disabled.
? The Configuration Wizard is unavailable.
? Deferred Port Open is disabled.
? While waiting for an inbound connection, data sent to the COM port by the application
is discarded.
? If more than one Serial/IP COM port is configured to accept connections on the same
TCP port number, arriving connections will go to the lowest numbered COM port that
is available.
? CE_FRAME is not pulsed while the connection is down.
Initiating Outbound and Accepting Inbound Connections
If a Serial/IP COM port is configured to both initiate and accept connections:
? User Credentials are enabled, but used only for outbound connections.
? The Configuration Wizard is available for testing outbound connections only.
? Deferred Port Open is disabled.
? While there is no active connection, data sent to the COM port by the application is
discarded.
? CE_FRAME is not pulsed while the connection is down.
? If Restore Failed Connections is enabled, it functions for outbound connections only.
A failed inbound connection must be re-initiated by the other device/computer, and the
Serial/IP Redirector will accept it.
? If Restore Failed Connections is disabled, the Serial/IP Redirector only initiates
connections when the Serial/IP COM port is opened, then begins waiting for an
inbound connection after the COM port is closed.
