TCP Sockets: Auto-Connect (TCP client) to another host on the network or allow incoming
n
connections on this serial port (TCP server). The TCP Sockets profile allows serial devices to
communicate over a TCP network. The TCP server allows other network devices to initiate a
TCP connection to the serial device attached to the serial port of the Digi Connect WAN Family
product. The TCP client will establish a TCP connection to a defined IP address and port
number.
For more information about the TCP Sockets, see the following:

UDP Sockets: Allows the automatic distribution of serial data from one host to many devices at
n
the same time. The UDP Sockets profile allows serial devices to communicate using UDP. The
UDP Server configuration allows the serial port to receive data from one or more systems or
devices on the network. See
The UDP Client configuration allows the automatic distribution of serial data from one host to
many devices at the same time using UDP sockets.
The port numbering conventions shown in the TCP Sockets Profile also apply to UDP sockets.
Not all port profiles are supported in all products. Supported port profiles varies by Digi Connect WAN
Family model. If a profile listed in this description is not available on the page, it is not supported in the
Digi Connect WAN Family product.
If you selected a port profile, the port number associated with the port profile appears at the top of
the page. You can change or retain the profile and adjust individual settings.
Everything displayed on the Serial Ports Configuration page between Port Profile Settings and the
links to the Basic Serial Settings and Advanced Serial Settings depends on the selected port profile.
