EW50 Industrial LTE Cellular Gateway
133
RFC-2217 Mode
RFC-2217 defines general COM port control
options based on the Telnet protocol. A host
computer with RFC-2217 driver installed can
monitor and manage the remote serial device
attached to the gateway’s serial port as though
they were connected to the local serial
port. When a virtual serial port on the local serial
device is being created, it is required to specify
the IP-address of the host computers to establish
connection with.
Any 3rd party driver supporting RFC-2217 can be
installed in the host computer. The driver
establishes a transparent connection between
host and serial device by mapping the IP:Port of
the gateway’s serial port to a virtual local COM port on the host computer.
The host computer can directly send data to the serial device via the gateway, and also receive data from the
serial device via the gateway at the same time. The gateway supports up to 4 Internet host computers.
