Select TCP Server in the Link Modes; TCP Server is the default link mode. Also in this
section you will find the following options.
Application, there are 3 different communication applications here:
RAW, there is no protocol on this mode, meaning the data is passed
transparently.
Virtual COM, the Virtual COM protocol is enabled on the device to
communicate with a virtualized port from the client. It is possible to create a
Virtual COM port on Windows/Linux in order to communicate with the device
as a Client.
Reverse Telnet, used to connect the device and another serial device
(usually a Terminal Server) with a Telnet program. Telnet programs in
Windows / Linux usually require special handshaking to get the outputs and
formatting show properly. The SW550X series will interact with those special
commands (CR/LF commands) once Reverse Telnet is enabled.
Enter the Local Port, this option specifies the port number that the server should listen
to; it is used by the client to connect to the server. Default local port is 4660.

. For Advanced settings, go to
Sec. 3.8.3
Scroll to the bottom of the page and cli
ck on “Save & Apply” button to save the
changes.
Other important variables to consider are:
IP Filter, enables the Source IP option below to block an IP address from accessing the
COM port.
Source IP,
specifies the device’s Source IP which will be transmitting data to our Server.
In other words, our Server will only allow data from this IP to flow (hence its own name
implies Source IP); only one source is allowed.
Maximum Connection, the number of devices/clients (max. of 4 clients), to be served is
set in this section.
Response Behavior, in which we will have as options:
Request & Response Mode, it determines how the device will proceed when it
receives requests from connected hosts. Under this mode, the port will hold
requests from all other connected hosts until the serial device replies or the
Response Interval timeout takes into effect to discard it; however, unrequested
data sent from the serial device would be forwarded to all connected hosts.
Reply to requester only, the port will reply to the connected host who
requested the data only.
Reply to all, a reply is sent to all connected hosts.
