TCP Sockets Profile
Overview
The TCP Socket profile allows for a serial device to communicate over a TCP network. The TCP
connection can be initiated from a host on the network and/or a serial device. This is typically used
with an application on a Workstation or Server that communicates to a device using a specific TCP
socket. This is often referred to as a RAW connection.
Functionality
The
TCP Sockets
profile permits a raw connection to be established in either direction, meaning that
the connection can be initiated by either the Workstation/Server or the Terminal Server.
