4.26 Data Output - TCP
This is for sending data to an TCP server, see details below
4.26.1 Server
This is the IP-address or domain name of the TCP-server you want to send data to.
4.26.2 Port
Port on which the TCP-server is listening, which is 37 by default. When running your own TCP-server for
data collection (e.g. the one that comes with ydoc-Insights) make sure that the chosen port is forwarded
by your internet router to the local IP-address of the system/computer running your TCP-server.
See the tutorials at: www.ydoc.biz/data logger-manuals.html
4.26.3 Security
The method used to logon to the TCP-
server, this can be ‘Basic’, ‘Secure Authentication’ or ‘AES-128
encrypted’. When using ‘Basic’ the credentials are transferred by TCP in plain text. This is quick and
therefore consuming less power. When using ‘Secure Authentication’ the password is uni-directional
encrypted with a unique challenge token received from the server. ‘Secure Authentication’ is more secure
but will consume about 1 second more precious power time per transfer.
‘AES-128 encryption’ includes
‘Secure Authentication’ and encrypts all communication, this is the most secure and recommend method.
