1 Introduction

The Vlinx model ESP901Ethernet serial server connects RS-232, 422, 485 serial

devices to an Ethernet LAN/WAN providing a reliable communication connection.

Existing Windows based serial software using standard Windows API does not have

to be modified to communicate over an Ethernet LAN to a serial device. The Vlinx

virtual COM port will make this an easy transition.

The ESP901 operates in “Direct IP Mode”, “Virtual COM Mode”, and “Paired

Mode”. The ESP901 has one asynchronous DB-9 serial port and one 10/100 Mbps

Ethernet RJ-45 connection. The Ethernet port will auto-select 10BaseT or

100BaseTX.

The ESP901 Windows driver installs a virtual COM port in the Device Manager of

the operating system. The virtual COM port is designed to establish a connection with

the ESP901. This in turn will allow communications with the connected serial device

in the same manner as a device connected to the COM port on a PC. The LAN

becomes transparent to the serial device and the software running on the PC.

The ESP901 can be configured as a TCP or UDP Client/Server. In direct IP and

virtual COM modes, ESP901 should be configured as a server. ESP901 also offers a

Heart Beat feature to insure a reliable communications connection.
