Introduction
MatchPort b/g™ User Guide
13
 SNMP monitoring
 Connection to devices through a TCP or UDP data channel to computers or
to another device server
 Web server allowing presentation of custom content and easy configuration
through the browser
 Contains eight programmable I/O pins used to monitor or control attached
devices.
Applications
The MatchPort device server connects serial devices such as those listed below to
wireless and Ethernet networks using the IP protocol family.
 Remote sensing
 CNC controllers
 Data collection devices
 Telecommunications equipment
 Data display devices
 Security alarms and access control devices
 Time clocks and terminals
Protocol Support
The MatchPort device server uses the TCP/IP protocol stack for network
communications. Other supported protocols include:
 ARP, UDP, TCP, ICMP, Telnet, TFTP, AutoIP, DHCP, HTTP, and SNMP for
network communications and management.
 TCP, UDP, and Telnet for connections to the serial ports.
 TFTP for firmware and web page updates.
 IP for addressing, routing, and data block handling over the network.
 User Datagram Protocol (UDP) for typical datagram applications in which
devices interact with other devices without maintaining a point-to-point
connection.
 SMTP for email transmission.
Configuration Methods
For the unit to operate correctly on a network, it must have a unique IP address on
the network. There are three basic methods for logging into the device server:
DeviceInstaller: View the current MatchPort configuration using a Graphical User
Interface (GUI) on a PC attached to a network. (See
3: Using DeviceInstaller .)
Web-Manager: Through a web interface, configure the MatchPort and its settings.
(See
4: Configuration Using Web-Manager .)
Serial & Telnet Ports: There are two approaches to accessing Serial Mode. Make a
Telnet connection to the network port (9999) or connect a terminal (or a PC running a
terminal emulation program) to serial port 1. (See
5: Configuration via Serial Mode or
Telnet Port .)
