TCP Client and Secure TCP Client Modes
In TCP Client mode, the NPort 6000 can actively establish a TCP connection to a pre-defined host computer
when serial data arrives. After the data has been transferred, the NPort 6000 can automatically disconnect
from the host computer by using the Inactivity time settings.
As illustrated in the figure, data transmission proceeds as follows:
1. The NPort 6000, configured for TCP Client mode, requests a connection from the host.
2. Once the connection is established, data can be transmitted in both directions between the host and the
NPort 6000.
TCP Client mode includes optional data encryption using SSL.
UDP Mode
Compared to TCP communication, UDP is faster and more efficient. In UDP mode, you can unicast or
multi-unicast data from a serial device to one or multiple host computers and the serial device can receive data
from one or multiple host computers. These traits make UDP mode especially suited for message display
applications.
