    Communication Modes 5.1 TCP Server In this mode CSW-H80 listens to a request of TCP connection from remote hosts. Once a host tries connecting to CSW-H80, it accepts a connection. After the connection is established, CSW-H80 converts the raw data from the serial port to TCP/IP data and sends it to the network and vice versa.
