Multi host Application TCP Client mode TCP Client Mode This mode lets the DS act as a bridge for serial devices that must communicate with server hosts like the Linux Unix and Windows systems In this 30 RS 232 422 485 TO 100BASE FX DEVICE SERVER Client mode the Device Server establishes a temporary TCP connection with the servers automatically after powering up All the data received from the serial device is then sent to remote servers The servers can also send data back to the serial device while the connection is active The DS automatically ends the connection when all information is sent and the connection becomes idle for a specified length of time It will reestablish the connection when it receives data from the serial device In TCP Server mode previous section the DS waits for the control host to initiate communication with the serial device Conversely in TCP Client mode the DS initiates communication with one or up to four remote devices simultaneously when the serial device experiences a communication event and prompts the DS to initiate communications 6 3 4 Serial Connect Status Serial Connect Status will show the serial port connection to the serial device Serial port settings can only be changed when using Media Converter mode RS232 422 485 Connection Status Connect Status Server Type Peer IP Address 192 168 0 21 Dest Srce Port Number 1753 1234 Byte Counts From UART 543 Byte Counts T
