Additional Information
Automatic Ethernet Connection
The [ETHVCOM] command configures the Ethernet virtual COM port server application. It can
also be used to establish an EVCOM connection with a specific remote user or to terminate an
existing connection.
An Ethernet Virtual Com port (EVCOM) is similar to an ASYNC serial com port and supports the
same set of commands/responses as a serial COM port. It operates as a server to provide this
service to remote clients in a network environment such as a LAN or the Internet.
The data stream is encapsulated in IP packets and can be configured to use either the UDP or
TCP transport protocol. An IP packet may contain one or more complete message(s) or
response(s), a fragment of a message, or any combination. It is simply a stream of data that is
arbitrarily segmented into one or more UDP or TCP packets.
There are four logical ports that may be used by the EVCOM application (ETH1 – ETH4) for
scheduling messages or sending responses to received Nova commands. Each of the logical
ports can be individually configured for operation mode (TCP or UDP), IP port number,
scheduled messages, and remote endpoints (client applications) providing four independent
data streams.
