Peer IP Address (Required):
Enter the peer IP Address into this field. This is required for UDP
communication. This specifies the Peer IP address and if set to 0.0.0.0 any remote IP can send UDP
packets to our peer port, and return packets will be sent back to the IP of the last host that sent a
message. Packets cannot be sent until one is received first (to learn the remote peer’s IP). If set to a
specific IP, then packets will be sent to this IP only. The recommended setting for this field is “0.0.0.0”
to allow any IP to send packets to the peer import number. You also have the option to set a second,
third, fourth and fifth address in respective fields further below on the dialog window.
Peer IP Port (Required):
Enter the peer Port number into the field. This is required for UDP
communication. Consult your network administrator for UDP applicaton destination port number. You
also have the option to set a second, third, fourth and fifth address in respective fields further below on
the dialog window. You also have the option to set a second, third, fourth and fifth port in respective
fields further below on the dialog window.
Client IP Port (Required):
Enter the client IP port number into this field. This is required if the peer IP
Address is set to a specific IP, then packets will be sent to specific IP at this client IP port number only.
Consult your network administrator for UDP application destination port number. Set to 0 if the Peer IP
is set to “0.0.0.0”. You also have the option to set a second, third, fourth and fifth port in respective
fields further below on the dialog window.
TCP Client
: If this option is selected, the device will act as a TCP Client and connects to the host
processor once the serial port becomes active.
TCP/UDP Independent Activation:
This option determines if the TCP/IP port of the device will accept
data before the remote side (Serial Port) is active. At least one of the two sides in the configuration
must be set for Independent Activation. If neither side is set, then the device will not accept data. This
function provided integrity for the device by preventing data from being accepted until it can be
delivered successfully. A TCP Server set to Yes, will listen even if the serial side is not considered
connected, If set to
No
, it will not listen for a connection until the serial side is considered connected. A
TCP Client set to
Yes
will always attempt to connect to the configured destination IP, even if the serial
side is not connected or active. If set to
No
, it will attempt a connection only when the serial side is first
considered connected. The recommended setting is
Yes
for Servers and
No
for clients.
TCP Headers:
Select the TCP/IP Header Type (Message Length Field) required for TCP/IP
communication from the drop-down list. The available options for this field as shown below.
None:
If this option is selected, the device will not add or remove any bytes as the length field from
the data packets received or transmitted.
Standard:
If this option is selected, the device will add 2 bytes of binary exclusive network order to
all transmitted TCP packets, and will remove the 2 bytes from the received TCP packets.
Extended:
If this option is selected, the device will add 4 bytes of binary exclusive network order
to all transmitted TCP packets, and will remove the 4 bytes from the received TCP packets.
Extended header normally is used as an indicator First, Mid and Last when dealing with the large
TCP messages and possibility of TXP/IP packet fragmentation.
Host IP Address (Required):
Enter the host destination IP Address into this field. This is required if
the device is acting as a TCP/IP Client.
Host IP Port (Required):
Enter the host destination Port Address in this field. This field is required if
the device is acting as a TCP/IP Client.
Client Source Port:
Enter the Source Port Address into this field This is required if the device is acting
as a TCP/IP client and using specific source port for TCP socket connection.
TCP Server:
If this option is selected, the device will act as TCP Server and listen on the configured
Listening IP Port for connection from the client.
