Chapter 1: Function Introduction
1.1FunctionOverview
SICOM3171 serial server is a communication interface protocol converter which realizes
dataconversionfromRS232/422/485terminaltoTCP/IPnetwork.
SICOM3171 serial server provides 4 full‐function RS232/422/485 serialportswithRJ45
connectors, one 10/100Mbps self‐adaptive Ethernet port, Reset button,realtimeclock
(RTC),SSH,SSL/TLSetc.
Serial server supports TCP/UDP Server mode and TCP/UDP Client mode,
RS232/RS485/RS422mode,5,6,7,8databit,1,2stopbit;andsupportparityand noparity,
xon/xoffsoftwareflowcontrol..
Itsbuilt‐inembeddedLinuxoperationsystemanditscompleteTCP/IP communication
protocolcanprovidebidirectionaltransparentdatatransmissionbetweenRS‐232/422/485
terminalandTCP/IPnetwork.
