Pair Connection Mode
Pair Connection Mode employs two NPort 5600 device servers in tandem, and can be used to
remove the 15-meter distance limitation imposed by the RS-232 interface. One NPort 5600 is
connected from its RS-232 port to the COM port of a PC or other type of computer, such as
hand-held PDAs that have a serial port, and the serial device is connected to the RS-232 port of the
other NPort 5600. The two NPort 5600 device servers are then connected to each other with a
cross-over Ethernet cable, both are connected to the same LAN, or in a more advanced setup, they
communicate with each other over a WAN (i.e., through one or more routers). Pair Connection
Mode transparently transfers both data and modem control signals (although it cannot transmit the
DCD signal) between the two NPorts.
