TCP Sockets

Select TCP Sockets to implement Direct IP Mode using TCP. When using TCP Sockets your converter can be configured as a TCP server or TCP client.

TCP Server Settings

If your ES1A is configured as a TCP server, other network devices can initiate a TCP connection with the serial device connected to the ES1A serial port. (This is also referred to as reverse telnet.) Network devices initiating connections must be configured with the IP address of the ES1A and the TCP port number associated with its serial port.

After selecting TCP Sockets, click Apply to return to the Serial Port Configuration page. Select the TCP Server Settings as required by your application.

Figure 9. TCP Server Settings

For each option, the TCP port number is shown. You can also Enable TCP Keep Alive for each selection. (If Enable Keep Alive is selected the connections is maintained even if no data is being sent.)

TCP Client Settings

If your ES1A is configured as a TCP client it will automatically establish a bi-directional TCP connection between the serial device and a server or other networked device. Selecting Automatically establish TCP connections enables this feature and its configuration options become available.
