Communication management The reader supports 4 types of communication method: TCP server communication (for all commands) TCP client communication (for reading result transmission) TCP client communication (for image data transmission) UDP communication (for administration) [TCP server communication] It works as a TCP server that can be configured with any port number. Two ports can be used, one for sending read data and one for sending image data.
TCP client connection for transmission of reading result It works as a TCP client that can set any connection destination (IP address: port number). The timing of the connection is set by TCP1CRTIM (connection request interval) command. Connect every time the reader sends data. Connect automatically every time the reader is powered on.
