4.5.2.  TCP Server Mode 

TCP Server

 mode is default Link mode of 

Serial Settings

, and it can wait for connecting requirement from 

remote host PC which running “serial-to IP” utility or setting STW-602Cs in tunneling mode. User has to 
configure listening port to allow client establish connection to this server. Default port number of STW-602C 
is 4660.   

IP filtering

  function is a simple 

ACL

  (Access Control List). It can be disabled by setting FILTER_IP to 

“0.0.0.0”. 

User can configure one or group IP for 

source IP

. If IP filter is enabled, only source IP assigned can be 

connected to STW-602C
