The EKI series features a lot of powerful functions such as: high speed data transfer, access-control, auto-detection of all EKI series products, remote connection from different network domain, remote firmware download, and more. After the simple installation steps to attach your network and serial device to the appropriate connectors on the serial device servers and driver installation, you will then be able to communicate with the serial devices via its own application software and with the EKI serial device server. COM port redirector, TCP server mode, TCP client mode, UDP server mode, UDP client mode and Control mode are all different schemes to make a serial connection across using one or more Serial device server. PC Ethe EKI 1360-BE Series rnet Res et WL AN Figure 4.1 Single Ethernet Connection EKI-1360-BE Series User Manual 38 4.1.2 COM Port Redirector Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility is a serial COM port redirector that creates virtual COM ports and provides access to serial device connected to Advantech serial device server. You can configure the serial device server and enable the Virtual COM port using one integrated utility. Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility allows you to configure Microsoft applications to communicate with network enabled serial device servers as easily as if they were physically installed in or directly connected on the PC. The Advantech redirector can create up to 4096 virtual COM ports. Application on the host can open virtual COM port to access the serial device servers at the same time. The redirector will handle each active virtual COM port as a separate TCP connection to Advantech serial device servers. PC Ethe Ethe rnet rnet Res et EKI 1360-BE Series S2 2/4 22 /48 WLA EKI 1360-BE Series RS 23 2/4 22 Figure 4.2 COM Port Redirector 4.1.2.1 Normal Mode The Advantech redirector connects the Advantech serial device servers while an application open the COM port and disconnects from the Advantech serial device servers when the application closes the COM port. The redirector uses TCP network connections to the Advantech serial device server to gain the access to the connected serial devices. 39 EKI-1360-BE Series User Manual 4.1.2.2 Multi-Access Mode (Shared COM port mode) Most of serial devices are connected directly and physically to the PC serial ports via a cable. The operation system, ex. Windows XP, provides the COM ports that user’s application can access, and control the serial device through the serial cable. This means that the serial device can be connected to one host and only one application on this host can handle input, output and control operation on this device. If you want to run more than one applications to use a serial device, you can employ EKI serial device servers that provide a virtual COM port for a host or multi-hosts on an Ethernet network. EKI serial device server is located between hosts and serial devices. Each serial port on the EKI serial device server can allow max. five host connections through one Ethernet port or two Ethernet ports. There are two major operation modes for Multi-Access Mode. First one is broadcast mode; EKI serial device server handles a command from one application and replies the data from the serial port to all applications that are connecting this serial port. Another one is polling mode; EKI serial device server handles the command from one application and reply to this application only. Query from other applications must be queued and wait for current process completing.

Collecting the data from these serial devices become more easily and more effectively. EKI-1360-BE Series User Manual 40 4.1.3 TCP Server Mode In TCP server mode, you might initiate the TCP connection from host to EKI serial device server. This operation mode support max. Five simultaneous connections for each serial port on EKI serial device server from one host or several hosts, however multi-hosts collect the data from one serial port at the same time.

This operation mode supports a maximum of 16 simultaneous connections for each serial port on EKI series to one host or several hosts. You should configure the IP address and TCP port number of the network hosts which the EKI serial device server connect to using Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility. After configuration, when EKI serial device server receives the data from serial port, the device server will employ the connection to hosts which are configured.

Serial Tunneling is very simple to use. You can use Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility to designate one serial port as the tunneling master and another serial device server port as the tunneling slave.

In the UDP server mode, EKI series access max. 8 hosts’ UDP message. In the UDP client mode, EKI serial device servers transmit UDP message to max. 16 hosts simultaneously. 4.1.7 Control Mode In controlling mode, the EKI serial device server presents a modem interface to the attached serial device: it accepts AT-style modem commands to connect / disconnect to other networking device. If you want serial device running application program to connect/disconnect to different devices by request, you can use controlling mode. The controlling mode provides three kinds of modem AT-style commands. The serial devices can use these commands to control EKI series connecting or disconnecting to remote networking devices. Thus intelligent serial devices such as stand-alone PLC will send /receive data to/from devices one by one via Ethernet. 43 EKI-1360-BE Series User Manual Chapter Setting up Virtual COM Port 5.1 Setting COM Port Redirector Advantech COM port mapping software is a serial COM port redirector that creates virtual COM ports and provides access to serial devices connected to an Advantech serial device servers. Your serial device applications can communicate with serial devices connected to the Advantech serial device servers without software changes. Since the virtual COM ports work like standard Windows COM ports, your application software sees no difference between a local serial device and one connected to an Advantech serial device server. The COM redirector utility and the virtual COM port management utility are integrated into one utility with same GUI. The Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility can create all Virtual COM ports using the Auto Mapping function or by using the manual mapping function. 5.2 Virtual COM Port Mapping 5.2.1 Auto Mapping 1. 2. 3. 4.
