Communication Modes

PES1A/PESV1A Ethernet to RS-232 converters allow you to connect serial devices over a LAN or WAN. Serial devices no longer are limited to a physical connection to the PC COM port. They can be installed anywhere on the LAN using TCP/IP or UDP/IP communications. This allows traditional Windows PC software access to serial devices anywhere on the LAN/WAN network.

Direct IP

Direct IP Mode allows applications using TCP/IP or UDP/IP socket programs to communicate with the asynchronous serial ports on the serial server. In this mode the PES1A/PESV1A is configured as a TCP or UDP server. The socket program running on the PC establishes a communication connection. The data is sent directly to and from the serial port on the server.

TCP Server Mode allows network devices to initiate a TCP connection to the serial device connected to the serial port on the PES1A/PESV1A. This is also referred to as reverse telnet.

UDP Server Mode allows network devices to initiate a UDP connection to the serial device attached to the serial port of the PES1A/PESV1A. When using UDP protocol the PES1A/PESV1A can be configured to broadcast data to and receive data from multiple IP addresses.

Virtual COM Port

Virtual COM Port mode (also called RealPort, or com port redirection) allows you to map a COM port on your PC to the serial port on your PES1A/PESV1A. Using the RealPort software (included with the PES1A/PESV1A) you create virtual COM ports on your PC. When your application sends data to this port, RealPort redirects the data across the network to serial device connected to the PES1A/PESV1A serial port. The network is transparent to the user application and the serial device connected to the PES1A/PESV1A.
