2 Use
The adapter is used to connect devices with an RS-232 interface to a (WLAN) wireless
network. The adapter supports a number of different operating modes. These instructions
describe configuration for the two most important operating modes:
•
Virtual COM port:
This operating mode simulates a driver of a virtual COM port (to be installed). This
virtual COM port represents the RS-232 interface of the adapter and thus hides
the fact that the measuring device is controlled via a wireless network. This also
makes it possible for non-network-enabled applications to access the device
transparently.
•
TCP Server:
In this operating mode, the adapter offers a TCP service to which a network-
enabled program can connect. Data sent over the network are forwarded to the
device directly via the RS-232 interface. Responses from the device are sent back
to the connected computer via the network.
Installation of the adapter should only be carried out in coordination with the
appropriate network administrator.
