TCP Sockets
Select TCP Sockets to implement Direct IP Mode using TCP. When using
TCP Sockets your serial server can be configured as a TCP server or TCP
client.
TCP Server Settings
If your ESR901WB is configured as a TCP server, other network
devices can initiate a TCP connection with the serial device
connected to the ESR901WB serial port. (This is also referred to as
reverse telnet.) Network devices initiating connections must be
configured with the IP address of the ESR901WB 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 11. 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 ESR901WB 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.
