Atop Industrial Serial Device Server SE5408A/SE5416A Series User Manual V 1.0 7.1.2 TCP Client Mode SE5416A Series can be configured as a TCP client in TCP/IP Network to establish a connection with a TCP server in the host computer. After the connection is established, data can be transmitted between a serial device and a host computer in both directions; this also applies to Virtual COM running in the client mode. Figure 7.
Atop Industrial Serial Device Server SE5408A/SE5416A Series User Manual V 1.0 Figure 7.4 For setting as a TCP Client, please follow these steps. Click on the COMX port under Serial on the left hand side. Select TCP Client in the Link modes. Only two communication modes are available here: RAW and Virtual COM which definitions are the same as above in Mode. Enter the preferred Destination IP and Port. This should match the IP settings of the TCP Server program.
Atop Industrial Serial Device Server SE5408A/SE5416A Series User Manual V 1.0 7.1.3 UDP Mode UDP is a faster but connectionless network protocol; it does not guarantee the delivery of network datagram. The SE5416A Series can be configured to transfer data using unicast or multicast UDP from the serial device to one or multiple host computers, data can be transmitted between serial device and host computer in both directions.
Atop Industrial Serial Device Server SE5408A/SE5416A Series User Manual V 1.0 Figure 7.6 Click on the COMX port under Serial on the left hand side. Select UDP in the Link modes. Destination IP and Port: Specify the Begin and End IP here. Four groups of range IPs are allowed. This is the IP address of the UDP program and the Port it is listening to. Note that the maximum number of UDP nodes that SE5416A Series can handle would highly depend on the traffic load.
Atop Industrial Serial Device Server SE5408A/SE5416A Series User Manual V 1.0 7.2 Link Mode Applications 7.2.1 TCP Server Application: Enable Virtual COM SE5416A Series will encapsulate control packets on top of the real data when Virtual COM is enabled. This will allow the Virtual COM port in the Windows/Linux system to access SE5416A Series’ COM ports. The benefit of using Virtual COM is that rewriting an existing COM program to read IP packets is unnecessary.

Atop Industrial Serial Device Server SE5408A/SE5416A Series User Manual V 1.0 7.2.9 TCP Server Application: Multiple TCP Connections The Multi-Connection option will allow up to a maximum of four TCP Client connections. Note that it is also possible to use this multi-connection feature in conjunction with other TCP Server applications, such as Virtual COM, Pair Connection, and Reverse Telnet.
Atop Industrial Serial Device Server SE5408A/SE5416A Series User Manual V 1.0 7.2.10 TCP Server Application: Multi-Point TCP Pair Connections The difference between Multi-Point TCP Pair Connection and Multi-Point UDP Pair Connection is that the TCP implementation would also exchange flow control pins for RS-232. However, the TCP Server is limited to a maximum of four connections.
