This box is for setting an IP address of server which is going to be connected with PBH-154. This could be set under a client mode. Server port When PBH-154 is in Client mode, the server’s local port which is listening should be configured at this box. Listen port This item is a port number which will wait to listen in case of a server mode.
Table 4-1 comparison of communication mode TCP Server In this mode, PBH-154 listens to receive a TCP connection request from remote hosts. After receiving the request, and the connection is established, PBH-154 converts the raw data from the serial port to TCP/IP data and sends it to the network and vice versa.

In this mode, PBH-154 sends request segments to a TCP server with information of [Server IP Address] and [Server Port]. Once a host is listening, the connection will be established. After then, PBH-154 converts the raw data from the serial port to TCP/IP data, and sends them to the network and vice versa.
