Socket Port Configuration

5. Socket Port Configuration
This section provides an overview of SocketServer and provides basic operating procedures. SocketServer
and ICDM-RX/TCP security are discussed in detail in ICDM-RX/TCP Security on Page 50.
Note: Technical Supports recommends that you update to the latest version of SocketServer before installing
an NS-Link device driver or configuring socket ports.

5.1. SocketServer Overview

SocketServer is the name of the TCP/IP socket web page that is integrated in the firmware that comes pre-
installed on your ICDM-RX/TCP. When you install an NS-Link device driver, an NS-Link version of
SocketServer loads on the ICDM-RX/TCP.
The SocketServer home page (Server Info) provides basic information about the ICDM-RX/TCP including
whether it is functioning in socket mode (SocketServer) or in NS-Link (driver). See SocketServer Architecture
on Page 45 for more information about socket port support.
The following menus are available in the web interface:
• Port, which includes the following pages:
- Port Overview of all of the serial port settings
- Port Configuration for each port that includes Serial, TCP connection, and UDP connection
configuration capabilities
• Network, which includes the following pages:
- Configuration for general, IPv4 and IPv6 settings (after initial configuration)
- Password to set a device password
- Security, which is discussed in detail starting on Page 50
- Keys/Certs to manage security keys and certificates
- Email for notification services
- RFC1006 (ISO over TCP)
