  • Page 37: Serial Communication Modes

    TCP Server In this mode, CIE-H14 functions as a TCP server. CIE-H14 waits for a TCP connection from remote hosts. Once one of hosts tries to connect to CIE-H14, it responses to that request. After the connection is established, CIE-H14 converts the raw data from the serial port to TCP/IP packets and sends the packets to the network and vice versa.
