3. AUTO TCP/UDP CONNECTION (Fargo Maestro 100 only) The Auto TCP/UDP connection feature is defined for accessing serial devices over the Internet. Fargo Maestro can be configured that after power up it will connect to a remote TCP/UDP socket (client mode) or to wait for the TCP/UDP socket connection request from remote peer (server mode). If the socket connection is unsuccessful or disconnected it will repeat the connection request and back to waiting stage. This make remote peer can access seri

3.2 AT commands for Auto TCP/UDP 3.2.1 AT+AUTOTCP Description: This command controls the Maestro 100 to start TCP socket connection automatically. Note: - Before using AT+AUTOTCP TCP and GPRS settings MUST be setup properly using AT+IPTCP and AT+IPGPRS command respectively. - +AUTOTCP function is mutually exclusive with +AUTOUDP function; if +AUTOUDP is set to 1 already you will get ERROR on enabling AUTOTCP Syntax: Command Syntax AT+AUTOTCP= Response syntax: +AUTOTCP: Command Possi

- If the TCP connection is broken the modem will try to reconnect automatically. During re- connection period serial port will go back to command mode, and DSR/DCD signal back to low. - The setting will be saved, and after power off, the AUTOTCP will be restarted with the 20 seconds delay after power up. - To stop auto TCP connection, you need to enter the command AT+AUTOTCP=0 within 20 seconds after power up, or during reconnection (serial port back to command mode) 3.2.2 AT+IPTCP Description:

Mode of TCP operation. Default value is “S”. “S” Server (Listening) mode. This configures Fargo Maestro to open a listening TCP connection on the specified port . The TCP connection will be active upon getting socket connection request from the allowed remote TCP peer (see ) “C” Client (caller) mode. This configures Fargo Maestro to request opening a TCP to the server with the specified address and port . The address of the TCP server (or host). Default value is empty
