Service Mode – TCP Server
In TCP Server Mode, the Device Server is configured with a unique Port combination on
a TCP/IP network. In this case, the Device Server waits passively to be contacted by the
device. After the device establishes a connection with the serial device, it can then
proceed with data transmission. TCP Server mode supports up to 5 simultaneous
connections, so that multiple devices can receive data from the same serial device at the
same time.
Service Mode – TCP Server interface
The following table describes the Service Mode – TCP Server interface page.

Data Encryption
Can be enabled or disabled. SSL data encryption is used.

TCP Server Port

Idle Timeout
When the serial port stops data transmission for a defined period of
time (Idle Timeout between 0 and 65535 seconds), the connection
will be closed and the port will be available to connect with other
hosts. When set to 0 this function is disabled. The factory default
value is 0. If Multilink is configured, only the first host connection is
effective for this setting.
Alive Check
The serial device will send TCP alive-check packet in each Alive Check
defined time interval (0 to 65535 seconds) to the remote host to
check the TCP connection. If the TCP connection is not alive, the
connection will be closed and the port will become available. When
set to 0 this function is disabled. The factory default value is 40.
Max Connection
Select the max number of simultaneous connections between 1 and
5. The default is 1.
