Introductions
The IP
SERIAL SERVER provides the serial device server for Windows hosts to
control serial devices located virtually anywhere through a TCP/IP or
UDP/IP Ethernet connection. The IP SERIAL SERVER has the asynchronous
serial port connection on one side, and a 10/100 Mbps Ethernet
connection on the other side. It connects devices, such as CNC, weight
scales, and scanners. Applications include industrial/factory
automation, automatic warehouse control, and hospital/laboratory
automation.
The IP SERIAL SERVER Windows driver is designed to control the IP
SERIAL SERVER Ethernet devices. The driver installs a virtual COM on
windows which maps the virtual COM port to the IP address of the IP
SERIAL SERVER device across the network, enabling the Windows
applications to access remote serial devices over Ethernet.
IP SERIAL SERVER can function as a server or client for both TCP and
UDP connection. The application scenarios are direct IP mode, virtual
COM mode, and paired mode. In direct IP and virtual COM modes, IP
SERIAL SERVER should only work as a server. When in the paired mode
one IP SERIAL SERVER must set as a client and the other must set as a
server in both TCP and UDP connection.

Direct IP Mode
In direct
IP connection, applications can communicate with IP SERIAL SERVER
using TCP/IP or UDP/IP socket connection. The raw data in the IP
packet will be transferred from and to IP SERIAL SERVER’ serial port.
»
Virtual COM Mode
In the
virtual COM mode, the host connects to IP SERIAL SERVER through 10/100
Ethernet. The serial device is then connected to IP SERIAL SERVER.
Applications work just as if the serial device is connected to host’s
COM port, however it is a virtual COM port that convert application’s
data into IP packet. IP SERIAL SERVER then converts the IP packet back
to serial data. In this mode, IP SERIAL SERVER must set to either
TCP/server or UDP/server. The virtual COM driver is a TCP or UDP
client. A security feature is built in IP SERIAL SERVER. When IP
SERIAL SERVER works as a server it will allow incoming connection only
when remote IP address passes its IP address filtering. For more
detail, please look at the section, Configuring IP SERIAL SERVER.
»
Paired Mode
Paired
mode is also called serial tunneling. Two IP SERIAL SERVER are
involved and they must be set to a client and server pair. The remote
IP address of the client site must be the same as server’s IP address
and IP address of the client site must pass server’s address
filtering. Applications do not actually use virtual COM port. They use
the regular COM port and host connects to IP SERIAL SERVER through a
null modem cable as shown below. The paired mode is a quick method to
convert a serial connection into an Internet connection without
installing any other software on the host.

Heart Beat
The Heart Beat protocol connection provides a reliable communications
connection in Virtual COM Port Mode or with Paired Connection Mode.
This feature restores the connection if communications are temporarily
lost at either end due to loss of power or Ethernet connection.
Without this feature a device that loses a connection and stops
communicating would not be able to reconnect without human
intervention. A TCP data connection can be lost when there is a power
failure or temporary loss of an Ethernet connection on either the
client or server. If a loss occurs the Heart Beat feature will try to
reconnect the TCP data connection every five seconds until
communications is established again. The Heart Beat feature is
available for use in Virtual COM Port Mode and Paired Connection Mode.
This is not available when using a UDP application.
