3.12.2 Serial Gateway
Serial Gateway functionality is available for both RS-232 and RS-485 ports independently,
and enables serial data to be routed via the wired or wireless network connection. Serial
Gateway functionality is similar to radio modem functionality, but since Serial Gateway
uses TCP/IP it only allows point-to-point connections (i.e. serial data cannot be broad-
cast).
Serial Gateway may be configured as either Server or Client. When configured as Server,
the module will wait for a connection to be initiated by a remote client. When config-
ured as Client, the module will automatically attempt to connect to the specified remote
server.
Some of the possible Serial Gateway topologies are illustrated below.
There are software packages available (i.e. SerialIP Redirector by Tactical Software) that
can create a virtual serial port on a PC. This virtual serial port can be configured to con-
nect to a RM-80 serial port. Standard programs can then be used to access this serial
port as if it were actually connected to the PC. Alternatively the program telnet may be
used to connect to a serial port on the RM-80. The telnet command used should be:
