Operation
Mode
COM
(Win200x
/XP)
Select the operation protocol, which the serial port would use.
▪Disable
Do not use this port.
▪COM
Use the serial port of Eddy as the COM ports of Windows
2000/XP/2003/Vista operated PC.
▪TCP Server
Eddy works as a socket server, waiting for the client connection on
the network.
Socket number for awaiting connections can be set in ‘Local
socket port’ field.
All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred
untouched after the socket connection is established.
▪TCP Client
Eddy acts as a socket client in this mode. It tries to connect to the
server IP address and the socket number assigned when a certain
server waits for connection on the network.
All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred
untouched after the socket connection is established.
▪TCP Broadcast
Eddy works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous
connections from socket clients.
Data transmitted from Eddy is broadcast to each socket client.
▪TCP Multiplex
Eddy works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous
connections from socket clients. The difference between TCP
Broadcast and TCP Multiplex is that Multiplex allows each socket
to communicate exclusively. That is, serial data in response are
only transferred to the sender socket.
▪UDP Server
Eddy works as a UDP server, waiting for UDP connection from the
client on the network.
Socket number for awaiting connections can be set in ‘Local
socket port’ field.
Once a UDP packet is received to the socket that waits for the
connection, the data is transmitted to the serial port. The data
input from the serial port is put into UDP packets, which
eventually are sent to the client.
▪UDP Client
When the data is input to the serial port, UDP packets are sent
using the preset IP address and the socket number of the server.
