Fig. 53. TCP Server in Link mode

Tip

：

Enable Virtual COM mode if the remote site PC’s “Serial to IP” tool installed

4.4.5. Configuring TCP Client Mode

One may enter destination IP & port (default: 4660) to establish connection of counter-pair (remote) host

(For example, another serial server, or PC for data-collection). STW can support two destination hosts

simultaneously.

Fig. 54. TCP Client in Link mode

4.4.6. Configuring UDP Mode

UDP is

a fast but non-guaranteed datagram delivery protocol. STW can be configured in a UDP mode on

a TCP/IP Network to establish a connection, using uni-cast or broadcast data to and from a serial device
to one or multiple host computer, for more detail see section XX.

STW can be configured in a UDP mode to establish connection using uni-cast or broadcast data from the
