4.4.1 TCP Server Mode 

When the ICS-10x be configured to 

TCP Server

 mode, it allows Serial device that connected to serial port of ICS-10x to 

establish TCP communication over Intranet or Internet network between: 

 

Remote Host (Computer) with Serial applications using TCP/IP network socket programs  

 Other 

ICS-10x 

with 

TCP Client

 mode 

It opens the TCP port of ICS-10x to wait for serial application to establish a TCP connection. After the connection is 
established, data can be transmitted in both directions. 

The parameter defines the maintenance status for listen for the TCP connection.
