3.12.2 Serial Gateway
Serial Gateway functionality is available for both RS-232 and RS-485 ports independently, and
enables serial data to be routed via the wired or wireless network connection. Serial Gateway
functionality is similar to radio modem functionality, but since Serial Gateway uses TCP/IP it
only allows point-to-point connections (i.e. serial data cannot be broadcast).
Serial Gateway may be configured as either Server or Client. When configured as Server, the
module will wait for a connection to be initiated by a remote client. When configured as Client,
the module will automatically attempt to connect to the specified remote server.
Some of the possible Serial Gateway topologies are illustrated below.
There are software packages available (i.e. Serial IP Redirector by Tactical Software) that can
create a virtual serial port on a PC. This virtual serial port can be configured to connect to a WI-
MOD-9-E serial port. Standard programs can then be used to access this serial port as if it were
actually connected to the PC. Alternatively the program telnet may be used to connect to a serial
port on the WI-MOD-9-E. The telnet command used should be:
TELNET [IP address] [Listen Port]
eg. TELNET 192.168.0.155 23 where the IP address is 192.168.0.155 and Listen Port is 23.
