    TCP Server is a mode of main communication channel in which the H24 Telit 3G Modem is configured to act as a server for incoming connections. For the use in SV 200, the modem is awaiting for the first connection to be established on a designated port (called Data Port; default 8001). Such connection can come from any application designed to act as an initiator of the TCP connection (such as SvanPC++) called remote peer.
  • Page 51 The DynDns is a service that allows a static name to be translated to an internet address. The controlling application uses the name to identify the SV 200 in the internet network as an address to connect to. The properly configured instrument provides means to validate its internet address to be recognized in internet network.
