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.
TCP Broadcast
SerialGate works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous
connections from socket clients. Data transmitted from SerialGate is
broadcast to each socket client.
TCP Multiplex
SerialGate works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous
connections from socket clients. The difference between TCP
Broadcast and TCP Multiplex is that Multiplex allows each socket to
communicate exclusively. That is, serial data in response are only
transferred to the sender socket.
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.
