a.Select UDP as ECable I/O Mode.

b.Enter the UDP port number (Destination Port) used by the destination device to communicate with the Serial Device Server. This number must be a valid port on the destination device (check the documentation for that device to determine the valid port numbers).

c.Enter the UDP port number (Local Port) used by the Serial Device Server to communicate with the destination device. This number must be greater than 1023, but is otherwise arbitrary.

NOTE: ECable mode cannot be used in conjunction with the Serial Port Emulator software.

Print Server Mode

You can use the Serial Device Server as a standard TCP/IP print server, which is very useful if you are connecting the Serial Device Server to a serial printer. The Serial Device Server supports the following standards:

∙lpr/lpd. This is one of the most popular ways to print on a TCP/IP network. Check your computer’s documentation to determine how to set up an lpr print queue. Usually this simply involves specifying the IP address of the Serial Device Server as the printer’s address or host name. Some implementations require a queue name; this name is the name of any of the Serial Device Server services. To see the names of the Serial Device Server services, connect to the Serial Device Server with a web browser (see chapter 3 for instructions on doing this); after you have logged in, click I/O Services on the left side of the page.

∙Port 9100. This method is used to set up a Windows Standard TCP/IP port or for compatibility with software that supports the HP JetDirect Print Server (for example, HP Web JetAdmin). To use this capability on Windows with the Add Printer Wizard, specify that you want to use a Local printer attached to this computer (not a network printer), and then select Create a new port, specifying Standard TCP/IP Port as the type of port.

It is also possible to change the TCP port number from the default 9100 for compatibility with other printer manufacturer’s software. To do this, refer to the instructions in the Raw TCP Connection section of this chapter.

FTP

The Serial Device Server supports FTP binary or ASCII communications. This can be used, for example, to send the contents of a file from a PC to a device connected to the Serial Device Server using the FTP protocol. To use FTP, simply enter the standard FTP command from your PC with the IP address of the Serial Device Server (for example, ftp 192.168.5.50). When the connection is made, enter any username and password. You can then use the standard FTP put command to send the file from the PC to the device connected to the serial port on the Serial Device Server.

Console Mode Switching

The Serial Device Server allows you to dynamically switch the operation of the serial port from normal mode to console mode. This allows your device to control the operation of the Serial Device Server by sending console commands (see chapter 6 and Appendix B for a description of the console commands). Note that console mode can only be entered when there is no connection to a remote host.
