AirWorks AWK-1137C Web Console Configuration
Mode
Along with the Application field, this field specifies the serial port’s operation mode, or how it will interact with
network devices. Depending on how the Application field is configured, different options are available for each
Mode. And, depending on the mode that you configure, additional configuration settings will be displayed.
Setting Description Factory Default
Real COM This serial port will operate in Real COM mode. Real COM
RFC2217 This serial port will operate in RFC2217 mode.
TCP Server This serial port will operate in TCP Server mode.
TCP Client This serial port will operate in TCP Client mode.
UDP This serial port will operate in UDP mode.
Real COM Mode
COM mode is designed to work with AWK
drivers that are installed on a network host. COM
drivers are provided for Windows systems, and TTY
drivers are provided for Linux and UNIX systems.
The driver establishes a transparent connection to
the attached serial device by mapping a local serial
port to the AWK
-1137C serial port. Real
COM mode
supports up to four simultaneous connections, so
multiple hosts can collect data from the attached
device at the same time.
COM drivers are installed and configured through NPort/OnCell Windows Driver Manager.
Real COM mode allows you to continue using your serial communications software to access devices that are
now attached to your AWK-1137C. On the host, the AWK Real COM driver automatically intercepts data sent to
the COM port, packs it into a TCP/IP packet, and redirects it to the network. At the other end of the connection,
the AWK-1137C accepts the Ethernet frame, unpacks the TCP/IP packet, and sends the serial data to the
appropriate device.
COM mode, two hosts can have simultaneous access control over the AWK-1137C serial port.
