Transmit (TX) Request: IPv4 - 0x20
Description
A TX Request message causes the device to transmit data in IPv4 format. A TX request frame for a
new destination creates a network socket. After the network socket is established, data from the
network that is received on the socket is sent out the device's serial port in the form of a Receive (RX)
Packet frame.
When you specify protocol 4 (TLS), the profile configuration specified by $0 (SSL/TLS Profile 0) is used
to form the TLS connection.
Note For NB-IoT, TCP support is dependent on the network. Contact your network provider for
details.
Format
The following table provides the contents of the frame. For details on frame structure, see API frame
format.

If the source port is 0, the device attempts to send the frame
data using an existing open socket with a destination that
matches the destination address and destination port fields
of this frame. If there is no matching socket, then the device
attempts to open a new socket.
If the source port is non-zero, the device attempts to send
the frame data using an existing open socket with a source
and destination that matches the source port, destination
address, and destination port fields of this frame. If there is
no matching socket, the TX Status frame returns an error.
Protocol Byte 0 = UDP
1 = TCP
4 = SSL/TLS
