COM Port Configuration
When using the serial ports on the IPn3G, the type of protocol being used on
the serial server must be known. Configuring these options correctly can allow
Serial to Serial, or Serial to IP communication.
UDP (User Datagram Protocol) - does not provide sequencing information for the
packets sent nor does it establish a ‘connection‘ and is therefore most suited to
communicating small packets of data. (Best Effort)
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) – Unlike UDP, TCP does provide sequencing
information and is connection-oriented; a more reliable protocol, particularly when large
amounts of data are being communicated. Requires more bandwidth than UDP.
TCP/UDP Port - A UDP or TCP port is an application end-point. The IP address
identifies the device and, as an extension of the IP address, the port defines where the
data is to go ‘within the device‘ (Process/Service etc)
Be careful to select a port number that is not predetermined to be associated with
another application type, e.g. HTTP uses port 80. IPn3G default telnet is port 23.
COM Port Configuration – TCP
TCP Server – If configured as a TCP Server the unit will not INITIATE a session, it will wait for a
Client to request a connection. The unit will ‘listen‘ on a specific TCP port. Once a connection is
established data can flow in both directions. If a session is not established, all data is discarded.
-
Local Listening Port
TCP Port on which the Server listens to and waits for a connection request .
-
Incoming Connection Timeout
The amount of time the Sever waits (Idle) before it terminates the connection.
TCP Client – When configured as a TCP Client, the unit takes the initiative to find and connect to a
remote TCP server. The TCP session is terminated by this same unit when the data exchange
session is completed and the connection timeout has expired. If a TCP connection cannot be
established, the serial port data is discarded.
-
Remote Server Address
IP Address of the TCP Server
Remote Server Port
TCP Port of the TCP Server
Outgoing Connection Timeout
The amount of time the Client waits (Idle) before it terminates the connection.
