In TCP ASCII/Binary mode a link with an external device using text messages can be established. In TCP ASCII/Binary mode all data received from the external device through RS-485 is sent directly to the server (if the link is currently active). Data is encapsulated in codec 12 format.

====TCP Binary settings====

=====TCP Binary settings=====

TCP Binary has a setting Prefix. It is possible to set Prefix 1, Prefix 2, or Prefix 3. These prefixes can be used separately or in unison.  

TCP Binary has a setting Prefix. It is possible to set Prefix 1, Prefix 2, or Prefix 3. These prefixes can be used separately or in unison.  

To configure this setting a value from 0 to 255 in decimal has to be entered. The device will convert this value to HEX and compare the 1st, 2nd, or 3rd byte from incoming data. If the values do not match, the device will not accept incoming data.

Since Prefix 2 does not match the incoming 2nd byte, data will not be accepted.

====Codec 12/13 Packet Merge====

=====Codec 12/13 Packet Merge=====

This additional option configures the device to merge RS-232 records into a single packet instead of sending many separate packets. This functionality only affects TCP Binary Buffered or TCP Ascii Buffered RS232 modes. When enabled, the device will merge saved RS-232 records together into a single data packet until it is able to send it to the server.<br />

This optimizes RS-232 data sending by not having to send each RS-232 record separately.
