Port Profiles
32 Chapter 3 Configure Network and Serial Ports
TCP Sockets Port Profile
The Digi device supports TCP socket communication. TCP socket
communication enables serial devices to communicate with each other
over an Ethernet network as though they were connected by a serial cable.
Configuring TCP socket communications involves configuring the Digi
device for the following types of connections:
• Inbound connections, that is, connections that are initiated by the
device on the other side of the network.
• Outbound connection, that is, connections that are initiated by the
device connected to the serial port.
TCP Sockets profile is also the profile to use for Autoconnection. See
"Autoconnection" on page 53 for more information.
