The TCP/IP-to-RS232 Bridge driver settings offered in this dialog box are listed below: Select the desired settings described below. Under Communication Driver, click TCP/IP-to-RS232 Bridge. This is the pane that displays the current communication path and state (e.g. You can also double-click the Communication pane of the main window's status bar, or right-click this pane and then click Communication Options from the shortcut menu. On the main window's Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Communication tab. To configure the TCP/IP-to-RS232 Bridge communication driver:
#LANTRONIX COM PORT REDIRECT SERIAL#
TCP/UDP Port: The TCP/UDP port number set up for the bridge's serial port is really irrelevant, as long as the same value is entered in the RMCWin TCP/IP-to-RS232 Bridge driver configuration screen.Ĭonfigure RMCWin for the TCP/IP-to-RS232 Bridge DriverĪfter you have set up the bridge, it is time to select and configure the TCP/IP-to-RS232 Bridge driver in RMCWin. Therefore, if you are given the option of selecting between TCP and UDP, select TCP. TCP/UDP: RMCWin will open a TCP connection.
The IP address entered for the bridge will need to be entered in RMCWin, as described below. IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway: The same guidelines laid out in Understanding IP Addressing for selecting an RMC ENET's IP parameters apply when selecting a bridge's IP parameters. This will include the following settings: The second main set of settings you will need to configure in the bridge is the TCP/IP interface. Therefore, it will not need to deal with initiating connections or setting up a specific remote IP address. In addition to these basic serial settings, there are often many other options for the serial interface. The following serial settings must be used to communicate with the RMC: These bridges are typically designed to be very flexible, and as a result can be fairly confusing to set up. Most of the work in setting up this driver involves configuring the bridge device. Therefore, if the port on the bridge is DTE, then a cross-over cable should be used otherwise a straight-through cable should be used. The bridge will be connected to the RMC's "RS-232 Monitor" serial port using an RS232 cable. How this is done depends on the particular bridge device, but in most cases will involve using a CAT5 Ethernet cable to connect the bridge to a hub or switch on the LAN that will be used. If multiple RMCs will be hooked up using the same method, it may be worth investing in a multi-port bridge, so that a single bridge can handle several RMCs.Ĭonnect the Bridge to the Ethernet Network The RMC has been tested with the Lantronix (UDS-10. A search on the Internet for "Ethernet to Serial Converter" should find a number of manufacturers providing these devices.
There are a number of TCP/IP-to-RS232 bridge devices available. The main steps to configuring a TCP/IP-to-RS232 Bridge communication path are as follows: Note: This communication driver requires RMC100 CPU firmware dated 20010522 or later.
