MOBITEK STK MODEM HUB

Basically, there are 4 STK MODEM in STKMH-EP432, and each of them is assigned to an IP address:-

  • modem 1 => 192.168.1.10:8001
  • modem 2 => 192.168.1.10:8002
  • modem 3 => 192.168.1.10:8003
  • modem 4 => 192.168.1.10:800

On PC side, you will need to install a virtual com port driver that will map com port to the IP address, e.g.:-

  • COM Port no. 11 => 192.168.1.10:8001
  • COM Port no. 12 => 192.168.1.10:8002
  • COM Port no. 13 => 192.168.1.10:8003
  • COM Port no. 14 => 192.168.1.10:8004

Then your Reload System/Software communicates with the COM port number, e.g.:-

  • Reload1.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 11
  • Reload2.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 12
  • Reload3.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 13
  • Reload4.exe => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 14

Or if you are using multi-threading, then

  • Reload.exe => thread no. 1 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 11
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 2 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 12
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 3 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 13
  • Reload.exe => thread no. 4 => MobitekSTKAPI.dll => DisplayMainMenu() => COM Port no. 14
