Installation guide
Raw Server Mode
This mode is used to establish a raw TCP connection to a NETRS232 port. The physical port on the NETRS232 is made
available as a network resource with a specified IP address and port number. In this mode, authorized users can set bits
per second, data bits, parity, stop bits, and flow control port-by-port, to match the requirements of the Data Terminal
Equipment (DTE) connected to the physical NETRS232 port.
Control lines can be triggered by the TCP connection being established. Under the "Signal Settings" tab shown below,
the user can set how the control lines are to react when a TCP connection is established.
Applications: Remote monitoring, security systems.
Raw Client Mode
This mode is used to establish a raw connection to the NETRS232. The physical port on the NETRS232 is configured to
initiate a connection to a pre-defined IP address and port number, specified by an authorized user of that port in the
"Target Settings" dialog box. In this mode, authorized users set bits per second, data bits, parity, stop bits, and flow
control port-by-port, to match the requirements of the Data Terminal Equipment (DTE) connected to the physical
NETRS232 port. Operating as a client, the NETRS232 will open a connection to the target IP address and port when it
detects one or more of the following line conditions: data, DSR, CTS, RI, or CD. Users can configure which of these trig-
gers will be in effect for any NETRS232 port set in this mode in the "Connection Control" dialog box. "Signal Settings"
are also settable by the user, as described in Raw Server mode.
Application: Remote control.
