Portbase User Guide

Choose the interface for the serial port.

(Option notations are as follows - rs422ptp : RS422 Point-to-Point, rs422md : RS422 Multi-

Drop, rs485ne : RS485 Non-Echo, rs485e : RS485 Echo )

set serial [ all / 1 / 2 ] mode [com2kxp / com98 / tcp_server / tcp_client / tcp_mserver /

udp_server / udp_client] (Default:

com2kxp)

Select the operation protocol, which the serial port would use.

J com2kxp

Use the serial port of Portbase as the COM ports of Windows 2000/XP/2003 operated PC.

(Both the data and the signal line information of the serial port can be controlled.)

J com98

Use the serial ports of Portbase as the COM ports of Windows 98/ME operated PC. (Both

the data and the signal line information of the serial port can be controlled.)

J tcp_server

Portbase works as a socket server, waiting for the client connection on the network.

Socket number for awaiting connections can be set with ‘set serial port’.

All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred untouched after the socket

connection is established.

J tcp_client

Portbase 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.

J tcp_mserver

Portbase works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous connections from socket

clients.

Data transmitted from Portbase is broadcast to each socket client.

J udp_server

Portbase works as a UDP server, waiting for UDP connection from the client on the

network.

Socket number for awaiting connections can be set with ‘set serial port’ field.

Once a UDP packet is received to the socket that waits for the connection, the data is

transmitted to the serial port. The data input from the serial port is put into UDP packets,

which eventually are sent to the client.

J udp_client

When the data is input to the serial port, UDP packets are sent using the preset IP address
