Tunnel – Dual Tunnel 4G-RS232. Controlling 2 RS232 devices with 1 modem and SIM card. Socket connection server type

¿Buscas alguna otra cosa?

Scenario Details:

  • We want to control 2 serial RS232 devices that are near to each other. Therefore, as the modem MTX-4G-Java-T2 has 2 serial ports, each serial port will be connected to one of two control devices which will economize the system by using a single modem and a single SIM card
  • Simultaneous access to the 2 serial devices from a Control PC is require, so the modem should listen, configured as server, through two TCP / IP ports. It will be possible to access the serial device connected to the COM1 of the modem the port TCP 20010 and the serial device connected to the COM2 of the modem by the port TCP 20011
  • The tunnel must remain permanently connected. There is no need to configure a DNS server since a SIM card with fixed IP address will be used
  • Access will only be allowed from two IP addresses coming from the Control Centre. Any attempt to connect from other IP addresses (unauthorized access) must be aborted

Solution: MTX-Tunnel firmware + MTX-Java-IoT/MTX-Java-T/MTX-Java-T2
