Raw TCP Server Connection Settings

The screenshot below depicts the RAW-TCP-Server connection configuration dialog and settings.

(For more information on other session property configuration tabs, please see Session Properties.)

The following RAW-TCP-Server configuration settings are available to properly setup your device connection and terminal session.

Setting Description

Auto Connect If this option is enabled, then the terminal session will attempt to establish a connection immediately when opened in Indigo.

Listener Address

This field must contain the IP address or computer hostname on which the TCP server should host a listener socket.

Special Listener Names	Description
`*`	If an asterisk character is listed as the listener address, then Indigo will apply the computer's default IP address. (If your computer supports multiple NICs or IP addresses, you may need to distinctly specify which address you want to listen on.)
`127.0.0.1`	This address represents the local machine and only processes running on this computer can access this listener address.
`localhost`	This address represents the local machine and only processes running on this computer can access this listener address. (This is identical to the 127.0.0.1 address, just an alternate friendly name representation.)

Listener Port

This field must contain the IP port number on which the TCP server should host a listener socket.
This port must be an available, unused TCP port on the computer where Indigo is running.

Display Sender Info

If this option is enabled, then Indigo will include a sender's IP address and port on each packet of data received in the Standard Terminal View Mode.
See screenshot below for example:

Raw TCP Server Connected Client

When using an RAW-TCP-Server connection, and a client has successfully connected to the TCP socket server, Indigo will display a small connection icon in the upper right corner of the terminal session window.
You can hover of this icon when the mouse pointer to reveal a tooltip with the connect client's details.
You can click this icon to forcefully disconnect the client socket.

Raw TCP Server Connection Authentication Options

When using an RAW-TCP-Server connection, Indigo does not provide user authentication.
