KPA500 on a Network

[Michael Walker]

I likely have not spend enough time on this, but as I redo my remote base,
I am finding that the I have the KPA500 RS232 port on one computer, but I
operating on another computer.

With its 'hosting' interface, is there a way to have the client software
connect to the server software on a totally different IP address on the
same network?

Yes. Run one copy of the remote program as the host. On your client machine run the remote program and click “Connect”, put in the IP address and port.

An easier way (though a bit more expensive) is to get a serial port server. I have the Startech 4 port server that connects me to two KPA500 and two KAT500. They appear as normal serial ports on the client and you connect using the remote program.

But if you’ve already got the computer on the host end the software is free :^)

Thanks

I'll do the IP version.  No big deal.

I do run a number of RS232 over IP devices already as well.  Until I get up
to the remote base with some spare time, I can do this change remotely.

I appreciate it.
