Introduction
1.1 About the iDS6 Serial Device Server
The iDS6 seri es is an industrial grade serial server with 4 ports RS232/422/485 and 2 LAN ports with optional isolation form RS-422/485 serial ports and one P.O.E PD Ethernet port. Users are able to configure the iDS6 using a web browser vi a one of the LAN ports on the i DS6. The iDS6 series offers many powerful features for HW & SW redundant functions.
When the connection between master-link and LAN fails, i f setup in Redundant mode the iDS6 can automatical ly switch to the other LAN port within 10m, and thus guarantee a non-stop connection. The iDS6 series also supports Switch mode, allowing users to Daisy Chain several seri al servers to reduce the usage of Ethernet switch ports. Also, the iDS6 can simultaneously transfer data into 5 host PCs. This feature can assure al l critical data is saved in different host PCs to avoid Ethernet break or host PCs failure.
Additionally, the iDS6 seri es provides dual redundant power inputs on a terminal block connection. The iDS6 series provides NAT pass through function so that users are able to manage i DS6 inside or outside the NAT router.
1.2 Software Features
Redundant Dual Ethernet Ports: Recovery time < 10ms. Switch Mode Supported: Daisy Chain support to reduce usage of switch ports. NAT-pass through: User can manage iDS6 through NAT router. Redundant multiple host devices: 5 s imultaneous in Virtual COM, TCP Server, TCP Client mode, UDP. Secured Management by HTTPS and SSH. Versatil e Mode: Virtual Com, Serial Tunnel, TCP Server, TCP Cl i ent, UDP Event Warni ng by Syslog, Emai l, SNMP trap, Relay and Beeper Vari ous Windows O.S. supported: Windows NT/2000/ XP/ 2003/VISTA 32bi ts
1.3 Hardware Features

When the serial port stops data transmission for a defined peri od of time (Idle Ti meout between 0 a nd 65535 seconds), the connection will be cl os ed and the port wil l be avail able to connect with other hosts. When s et to 0 this function is disabled. The factory defaul t val ue is 0. If Multilink is configured, only the first host connection is effective for this setting.
Alive Check
The serial device will send TCP alive-check packet in each Alive Check defined time interval (0 to 65535 seconds) to the remote host to check the TCP connection. If the TCP connection is not alive, the connection will be clos ed and the port will become available. When set to 0 this function is disabled. The factory default value i s 40.

5.1.3.3 Service Mode – Virtual COM
In Virtual COM Mode, the driver establishes a transparent connection between host and serial device by mapping the Port of the Device server serial port to local COM port on the host computer. Virtual COM Mode also supports up to 5 simultaneous connections, so that multiple hosts can send or receive data by the same serial device at the same time.

5.1.3.4 Service Mode – TCP Server
In TCP Server Mode, the Device Server is configured with a unique Port combination on a TCP/IP network. In this case, the Device Server waits passively to be contacted by the device. After the device establishes a connection with the serial device, it can then proceed with data transmission. TCP Server mode supports up to 5 simultaneous connections, so that multiple devices can receive data from the same serial device at the same time.

5.1.3.5 Service Mode – TCP Client
In TCP Client Mode, the Device Server can establish a TCP connection with a server by the method you set (Startup or any character). After the data has been transferred, the Device Server can disconnect automatically from the server by using the TCP Alive Check time or Idle Timeout settings.
