TCP/UDP Direct Programmatic Access
NPM301 module supports TCP/UDP Ethernet direct access mode of standard API
interface form such as WINSOCK. It can implement all control and transmission
process through easy programming. In most cases, direct programmatic access,
which could achieve error-free connection, is the best solution.
Virtual Serial Port Access
For most serial devices based on serial port programmatic access, reprogramming is
not always the best choice. NPM301 module provides a virtual serial port access
mode. User only needs to install the driver that comes with the product, and then
multiple virtual serial ports would be created on PC. User software can transparently
access remote serial port device by opening the serial port virtualized by software and
need no complicate Ethernet access process. And all Ethernet control and
transmission process related to NPM301 module could be operated on the driver.
Interconnection of Two Serial Device Networking Servers
Sometimes user can extend serial port distance via Ethernet only. NPM301 module
supports this application, which is to implement point-to-point interconnection of two
devices through easy settings and no need of programming and drivers.
Multiple Hosts Sharing One Serial Device Networking Server
In many cases, multiple users need to share data resources from one serial port;
therefore, it needs multiple hosts to access one serial device networking server.
