3.8.2.2 TCP Client Communications (Initiator)
Initiating data sessions to a remote location and TCP port is easy.
1.
Enter the Remote IP or HOSTNAME and the desired destination TCP port.
Since this is where you want the data to be sent, it assumes that there must be
something listening for the packet at that location. The default is ‘localhost’
meaning it will send data to itself.
2.
Enter the Data to be sent. Type into the box or paste text from another application.
3.
Select the required data format and framing type. Most text will be ASCII. Most
machine or coded data will be in HEX format. Add Line Feeds and/or Carriage
Returns as needed.
