TCP Server
Eddy works as a socket server, waiting for the client connection on the
network.
Socket number for awaiting connections can be set in ‘Local socket
port’ field.
All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred untouched
after the socket connection is established.
TCP Client
Eddy acts as a socket client in this mode. It tries to connect to the server
IP address and the socket number assigned when a certain server waits
for connection on the network.
All data between the socket and the serial port is transferred untouched
after the socket connection is established.
TCP Broadcast
Eddy works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous connections
from socket clients.
Data transmitted from Eddy is broadcast to each socket client.
TCP Multiplex
Eddy works as a server, accepting up to 5 simultaneous connections
from socket clients. The difference between TCP Broadcast and TCP
Multiplex is that Multiplex allows each socket to communicate
exclusively. That is, serial data in response are only transferred to the
sender socket.
UDP Server
Eddy works as a UDP server, waiting for UDP connection from the client
on the network.
