Serial Port Profiles

TCP Sockets Profile

Overview

The TCP Socket profile allows for a serial device to communicate over a TCP network. The TCP connection can be initiated from a host on the network and/or a serial device. This is typically used with an application on a Workstation or Server that communicates to a device using a specific TCP socket. This is often referred to as a RAW connection.

Functionality

The TCP Sockets profile permits a raw connection to be established in either direction, meaning that the connection can be initiated by either the Workstation/Server or the IOLAN.

General Tab Field Descriptions

Configure the following parameters:

Listen for	When enabled, the IOLAN listens for a connection to be established by the
Connection	Workstation/Server on the network.
	Default: Enabled
