Page 28 IDS-2102A User’s Manual TCP Server Mode In TCP Server mode, the serial port on the device server is assigned a unique port number. The host computer initiates contact with the device server, establishes the connection, and receives data from the serial device. Five simultaneous connections are supported in this mode, enabling multiple hosts to collect data from the same serial device at the same time.
Page 29 IDS-2102A User’s Manual function is disabled which is the factory default value. The number of maximum connections can be support Max Connection simultaneously is 5; default values is 1. Destination Host Input the IP address of the host. TCP Client Mode In TCP Client mode, the device can establish a TCP connection with the server by the method you have settled (Startup or any character).
Page 30 IDS-2102A User’s Manual The serial device will send a TCP alive-check package in each defined time interval (Alive Check) to remote host to check the Alive Check TCP connection. If the TCP connection is not alive, the connection will be closed and the port will be freed. 0 means the function is disabled which is the factory default value.
