SERIAL PORT

F ATBOX G3 has a built in 
TCP server to allow a remote 
device (e.g. a meter read-
ing server) to connect over 
cellular network to device(s)* 
attached to the serial port of 
the FATBOX. 

When the ‘Serial to TCP 
Transport’ is enabled, it 
allows for communication 
between the remote TCP 
client and the G3’s serial port 
(via port 70).

*

Note that only in the RS-485 
mode can you connect multiple 
devices to the FATBOX.

FATBOX G3 also allows messages (e.g. 
modem AT commands) to be send and 
received from the cellular modem via the 
LAN port (e.g. port 70). For example, an 
Ethernet attached Data Concentrator can 
send AT commands to the FATBOX (e.g. 
192.168.1.1:77) to query signal strength 
(AT+CSQ) or to send custom SMS. 

1 = Enable, 
0 = Disable

Update and reboot FATBOX.
