User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server 4. Device Protocols and Operating Modes Device Protocols Two transport protocols are used: TCP and UDP. In general, TCP is more reliable and UDP is speedy. For TCP, there are three basic operating modes: TCP Server Mode, TCP Client Mode and Tunneling Mode. The first two are from the perspective of the SE device with respect to the host computer, while the Tunneling Mode is between two serial devices.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server Operating Modes The SE5008/5016 series can function as: 1) TCP Server (Virtual COM included) 2) TCP Client 3) Tunneling Mode (Client-Server Pair) SE5408/5416 can either function as a “TCP server” or as a “TCP Client” at a time with a unique IP address and Port number. When acting as a TCP server, it waits and “listens” passively for any request from a host computer to establish a connection with the serial device.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server Fig 6. Serial devices can be routed via two different subnet networks to a remote monitor Fig 7 shows SE5408/SE5416 Multi-Port Serial Server acting as a TCP server listening for a connection request. The host computer, acting as a client, sends a request to the server, which has an IP address of 10.0.50.100, and the destination port of 4660.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server TCP Client Mode SE5408/SE5416 Multi-Port Serial Server can be configured as a TCP client which initiates a TCP connection request to a host computer or server as shown in Fig 8. The maximum number of host computers for TCP connection request is two computers. To configure each serial port of the device server as a TCP Client, one of the four configuration methods (Web-based program, Telnet, Serial Console, and SerialManager) can be used.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server Tunneling Mode (Client-Server Pair) Tunneling Mode is used for a serial device to “talk” to another serial device through an Ethernet (TCP/IP) connection which is provided by SE5408/SE5416 Multi-Port Serial Server. This mode is particularly useful when needed to connect two serial devices that are far away, e.g. more than 15 meters for RS232 serial connection. Only one pair of serial devices is allowed to make a connection in Tunneling Mode.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server UDP In Fig 12, we show SE5408/SE5416 Multi-Port Serial Server working in UDP mode. In the figure, a serial device connected on COM1 of SE5408/5416, acting as a client, at IP address of 10.0.50.100 is sending data to two groups of IP address groups: 10.0.55.22 through 10.0.55.222 with the port number 4670 and 10.0.100.100 through 10.0.100.200 with the port number 4680.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server 5. Web-based Configuration The Web-based configuration method is the most common method to set up SE5408/SE5416 Multi-Port Serial Server, and is the most user-friendly one as well. The only thing you need to do is to make sure that the SE5408/SE5416 Multi-Port Serial Server to be configured is on the same LAN as the host computer. The rest of configuration is fairly self-explanatory.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server Here you shall look at the two information boxes. In the Device Information box, you can find the Kernel version and AP version as shown in Fig 15. You can check on our website to obtain the current versions of the Kernel and the AP. The Networking Information box displays MAC Address and IP Address for LAN 1 and LAN 2 as shown in Fig 16. Fig 15. Device Information: Web Configuration Fig 16.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server Fig 18. DNS Settings: Web Configuration SNMP Settings The SNMP setting determines whether your device settings can be viewed with standard SNMP software. The default is disabled. For instance, one can see the device’s IP but not SysName, SysLocation, or SysContact. In Fig 19, these three values viewing permission has been enabled, meaning granted.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server TCP Server: Link Mode Setting TCP Server is the default Link mode. Being a server, it waits passively for connection requests from one or more remote PC hosts. The maximum number of connected PC hosts is 4. Normally, “Virtual Com Enable” box is not checked. Max Connections (default=1): This option is used if you need to receive data from different hosts simultaneously.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server Fig 20. TCP Server Link Mode with 4 Clients Allowed: Web Configuration TCP Client: Link Mode Setting The setting of TCP Client link mode is shown in Fig 21. The COM port is set to function as a TCP Client, and it will actively initiate TCP connection with one destination or two destinations of TCP servers. You must check “Destination 2” enable box to add the second destination. Enter the Destination IP(s), Destination Port number.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server Fig 21. TCP Client Link Mode: Web Configuration UDP: Link Mode Setting UDP is a fast but “connectionless” protocol, designed for efficiently delivering data to the designated IP addresses. The SE5408/SE5416 Multi-Port Serial Server supports up to 8 sets of Destination Addresses. Fig 22 is an example to deliver data to groups of IP addresses. The physical connection diagram of the example is shown in Fig 12.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server Fig 22. UDP Link Mode Setting : Web Configuration Serial Settings The Serial communication parameters include UART mode, baud rate, parity, data bit and flow control. .
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server Advanced Settings Fig 24. Advanced Settings: Web Configuration Time out for receiving TCP data (Default: Disabled): This field specifies how long the serial device server will wait for a response to “keep alive” packets before closing the TCP connection. The serial device server checks connection status by sending periodic “keep alive” packets.
User manual Version 1.1 SE5408/SE5416 Multi-port Serial Server to 1200 bps, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity. In this case, the total number of bits needed to send a character is 10 bits, and the time required to transfer one character is (10 (bits) / 1200 (bits/s)) × 1000 (ms/s) = 8.3 ms. Therefore, you should set the “Interval timeout” to be larger than 8.3 ms, so in this case, it must be greater than or equal to 10 ms.
