TCP Server Mode:
In this mode the Device Server acts as a device server and
functions as a network agent for the serial device. For example, when a serial device
with a serial console port is connected to the Device Server while it is in TCP Server
mode, the console port becomes a network-accessible interface via the Device Server
device server. In TCP Server Mode, the Device Server can link the serial device and a
TCP-operating control host by providing two-way transmission between the two.
In TCP
Server
mode, the Device Server
waits
for the control host to initiate
communication with the serial device. Conversely, in TCP
Client
mode (next diagram)
the Device Server
initiates
communication with one or up to four remote devices
simultaneously – when the serial device experiences a communication event and
prompts the Device Server to initiate communication.
