4.3.3 Device Mode
Currently the device supports nine specific modes such as VCOM, UDP, TCP Sever, TCP Client, MCP,
Modbus, etc. The default mode is VCOM and the port number is fixed at 966
Mode
Mode Description
VCOM
VCOM is a virtual serial port mode, you can virtualize the serial server as a serial device for
communication, the port number in this mode is fixed at 966
UDP
The UDP mode of operation is subordinate to the UDP protocol, a connectionless mode that
provides a simple, unreliable, thing-oriented messaging service
TCP Mode
The TCP mode of operation is subordinate to the TCP protocol, which is a connection-oriented,
reliable and transparent transmission service, including the TCP Sever and TCP Client modes; in
both modes, the corresponding IP and port numbers can be filled in to communicate with each
other.
Modbus Mode
Modbus operating mode is subordinate to the Modbus protocol and is an operating mode that
supports the Modbus protocol
This note focuses on the virtual serial port mode VCOM

5. 1-Port Series Serial Device Server Troubleshooting Instructions
5.1 Click search can not search the IP address of the serial server
1, first check whether the physical connection is normal, the network cable and power supply is connected, observe the
power indicator, LINK light, ACT light is normal (connected to the 10M network, this light does not light, 100M light)
2, the host network card is available, can not communicate with other local or other hosts.
3, close all the tools and software that can block the broadcast packet (do not open the firewall that comes with the system)
Your Reliable Partner in Industrial IoT
UTEK TECHNOLOGY SHENZHEN CO. , LTD. www.uotek.com
5.2. Cannot read or write configuration
1, Ensure the normal operating status of the network (whether the ACT light and RUN light are normal)
2, Ensure that the serial server device and the connected host are in the same network segment, and whether the IP can
ping through
3, Ensure that the serial server is in application mode
4, if the above can not solve the problem try to power off and restart, if necessary, restore factory settings
5.3. Cannot send and receive data
1, Ensure that the serial port can be opened normally
2, Observe whether the system light is flashing fast or slow, flashing fast for the data sent and received, such as no flashing
fast check the connection between the serial port and the upper network, and the bottom serial device to check the wiring
5.4. Forget the previous configuration information
1. Determine the configuration information by reading the configuration, if the ip address is not remembered, then you can
search for
5.5. Transmitting and receiving data is messy code
1, Check if the wiring is correct,our 485 wiring is 1A+,2B-.
2, Check if the line distance has exceeded the standard distance and the quality of the line (also by lengthening the line
transceiver or optical isolation)
3, Check whether the baud rate set matches the bottom device
4, Separate from the client's top software, use the network or serial debugging assistant can receive normal data, if you can
receive normal data, may not be compatible with the top software
If none of the above ways can solve your problem, please contact the manufacturer
