VOLKTEK IRF-633 RS-232/422/485 TO 100BASE-TX DEVICE SERVER
24
EXPLANATION: Server/Client Mode Configuration
Server/Client
Type
A read-only attribute. In Device Server mode, the device will have a
Server role as a TCP Server. In Media Converter mode, the
“Server” and “Client” roles of the two ends will be decided
automatically.
Remote IP In Media Converter mode, set the IP address of the other end
device. Ignore if in Device Server mode.
TCP Port
Number
The TCP port number that the TCP Server is “bound” to.
Connection Idle
Time
In seconds. This is valid for Media Converter mode only. The Client
will disconnect the TCP session if no packets are transmitted in the
set period.
DS/CR Mode DS: Device Server mode – the Device Server acts as TCP Server
and the Serial IP Redirector software acts as TCP Client.
CR: Media Converter mode – two Device Servers communicate
with each other through point-to-point architecture.
Packet mode of
serial input
This is valid for Device Server mode only.
Enabled – input data from the serial interface is treated as serial
packets.
Disabled – input data from the serial interface is treated as bit
streams.
Packet mode
inter-packet
timeout
In milliseconds. This is valid for Device Server mode only. It is the
delimiter value for recognizing the timeout gap between serial
packets if Packet Mode is enabled.
Serial Port Configuration
Operation Mode A read-only attribute. It shows the RS232/422/485 mode set by the
DIP switch.
Baud Rate The speed of the serial interface.
Parity Select or disable the parity checking method
Word Length The length of data in bits
Stop Bits The bit length of stop bits
Flow Control The flow control method for informing the correspondent
While using as Device Server mode, in case you are using a serial device with a 2-wire
RS-485 application or Modbus RTU protocol, do not forget to “Enable” the “Packet”
mode of serial input. Also enter the appropriate inter-packet timeout value to enable
smooth data communication.
Note: You will not be able to change the serial port settings (Baud Rate, Parity, Stop
bits etc) while working in Device Server mode; they are managed through IP Serial
Redirector software.
