Transparent Mode: How it works & benefits

The transparent mode enables direct transmission of serial data over TCP/IP networks.

Configuration:

• Each serial port is assigned a unique TCP port

• Example: Serial Port 1 → TCP 7001, Serial Port 4 → TCP 7004

Advantages:

• No special protocol conversion required

• Direct integration into existing systems

• Suitable for legacy devices with a serial interface

• Enables remote access over the network

Selection for Serial Transparent Mode

• The mode can be selected for each individual serial port. Serial expansion cards that are plugged into the expansion slot can also be selected.
