TCP Client specific configuration options include:
Server IP Address – The IP address of the server the Master Station is to connect to.
•
Remote IP Port – The TCP port that the server is listening on.
•
TCP Server/Client:
As the name implies, TCP Server/Client is a combination of the TCP Server mode, and TCP
Client mode. In this mode, the Master Station will listen for incoming TCP connections and pass
data exactly as in TCP Server mode. However if there is no active server connection, and
over-the-air payload traffic arrives at the Master Station, the Master Station will establish an
outgoing TCP connection to a remote server and transmit that data to the remote server. A
use-case for this mode of operation is if you wish to have the protocol reliability of TCP, but do
not wish to maintain active TCP sessions across your network.
