Acquisition Modules and Platinum Firmware Networking Configuration
To configure the converter from the web interface, select:
Configuration → Serial Ports
then choose the required port. Set the function to “tcp serial converter”,
select the baud rate, and save the settings. You can then use the TCP serial
converter settings button at the bottom of the page to configure the converter.
The converter's configuration page allows you to choose the mode at the top
(“Operation mode”). The other options on the page are only required in
certain modes; see below for which modes require which options.
7.8.1 Simple server mode
In Simple server mode, the converter opens the serial port and creates a TCP
server socket. Whenever a client connects to the socket, the converter reads
raw data from the serial port and writes it to the client, and reads raw data
from the client and writes it to the serial port. The serial port hardware
control lines cannot be read or altered in this mode.
Simple server mode has two relevant options: the list of addresses to listen to,
and an optional list of addresses to filter. The server can listen on multiple
simultaneous local ports and addresses (although only one client can be
active at a time).
The “Bind host” option is usually left blank. If specified, it is the name or IP
address on which this server socket will listen. For example, if you specify
“localhost” here, then this socket will only listen for incoming connections on
the loopback address, and not on the external Ethernet port. Leave it blank to
listen to all addresses.
The “Bind service” option must be specified. It is the TCP port number
(1-65535) or service name (such as “tcpserial”) for the socket. This can be
