17.3 RAW UDP gateway
17.3.1 Overview
The RAW UDP gateway enables you to connect together a group of serial or IP devices through an
IP network.
The group can include IP devices if they have the software pieces able to receive or transmit serial
data inside UDP.
Serial data transmitted by each device is transmitted to all other serial devices through the IP
network.
A table of IP destination gateways is stored in each XSRING+ belonging to the group.
The serial data is encapsulated in the UDP protocol.
The UDP frame is sent to each destination IP address stored in the table.
17.3.2 Configuration
• Select the “gateway” menu and then the “Transparent” menu and then click “RAW UDP”.
• Select the “Activate” option.
« Serial input buffer size” parameter (value 1 to 1024)
:
Sets the maximum size of an UDP frame.
“End of frame time-out” parameter (value 10 ms to 5 sec ) :
Sets the delay the gateway will wait before sending the UDP frame towards the IP network when no
characters are received from the serial interface.
«UDP port number» parameter :
Sets the UDP port number.
If the Raw UDP gateway is assigned to both serial COM ports, the UDP port numbers must be
different on each port.
“IP addresses of the destination devices » table :
This table stores the IP addresses of the gateways to which the serial data, encapsulated inside UDP, have to be
sent.
A different UDP port number can be entered for each destination IP address.
