Application

SerialGate can be used in many practical applications in various fields. Here we present some
of them.

Network Serial Communication

PC and SerialGate are connected to the network, and a user gets an access to a device
connected to SerialGate on PC.

Serial Communication Tunneling

SerialGate enables a connection not restricted to distance between PC and serial device. To
enable this feature, a user should change its setting to TCP Server – TCP Client mode or UDP
Server – UDP Client mode referring to Chapter 5 of this manual. In this case, only data can be
transmitted while both data and control signal can be transmitted in Pair_Master and Pair_Slave
mode.
