Each Terminal Server would have its own IP address and all serial data would be sent through a specific TCP/IP port number. Terminal Servers typically have an ethernet connector and one or more RS232 or RS485 ports and they typically use the TCP/IP network protocol by sending the data that is transmitted through the RS232 or RS485 serial port to a TCP/IP port. A Terminal Server is a device that allows RS232 or RS485 serial devices to be connected directly to an ethernet network.

Logging data from RS232 or RS485 devices connected to a TCP/IP network through Serial Terminal Servers or through TCP-Com.Ī typical application for TCP-File is to log data from one or more Terminal Servers to disk file(s). TCP-File uses a multi-document user interface allowing you to log data from as many TCP/IP ports as you like. Then activate TCP-File! It's that easy! If you need to log data from multiple TCP/IP ports, simply open another TCP-File connection window. Just select the IP Address and port number and specify the name of a disk file. Supports multiple client connections simultaneously when configured as a TCP/IP server.Supports both client and server TCP/IP connections.Each TCP/IP connection can log data to its own file or to the same file as any or all other connections.Supports an unlimited number of TCP/IP connections.

See below for a list of typical applications for TCP-File.

TCP-File allows you to easily log TCP/IP data from any number of TCP/IP ports directly to disk files.
