LINK1 is associated with COM1; LINK2 is associated with COM2, and so on.
3.3.7. LINK Mode: Configure SE5001 as a TCP Client
By selecting the TCP Client mode, it means that a TCP Server program should be prepared to connect to SE5001.
Figure 3.27 shows all the settings provided for the TCP Client.
 Click on the “COM1” link on the left hand side.
 Select TCP Client.

 Connect Rule: Decide how SE5001 should connect to the TCP Server here. If SE5001 should always
keep the connection, select TCP Connect on Power-on. This means SE5001 would connect to the TCP
Server program when SE5001 is powered on. By default, TCP Connect on Any Serial Character is
selected. This means that SE5001 would only connect to the TCP Server program when it receives data
from its serial interface. If TCP Connect on Any Serial Character is selected, there are two additional
options to change, which are Serial Inactivity Time Before Disconnect and Waiting Time Between
Re-connect Attempts. Serial Inactivity Time Before Disconnect determines how long SE5001 should
wait before closing a TCP connection if there is no incoming serial data. The default value is 40 seconds.
Waiting Time Between Re-connect Attempts determines the time SE5001 should wait before it tries to
establish a connection with a TCP Server again if it fails to connect to the TCP Server. The default value is
