Internet Server

Decoder can send data to the internet using standard TCP/IP socket. The following parameters has to be configured before starting.

 

Port

The socket is identified with TCP/IP address and host port number. The port number must be free i.e. any other service or the SkySweeper block must not use the same port numner.

 

Connections

The connections defines how many concurrent connections server allows at the same time. The same data is sent to all clients.

 

Queue Length

If the maximum number of connections is in use, incoming connection requests goes into queue. When some connection is released the first connection request is taken from the queue. The queue length can be adjusted.

telnet 127.0.0.1 port

where the IP address 127.0.0.1 means own computer and port number is the same as which was configured into server.
