Hello,
If you are going to use the TCP Link mode via RS232 to transfer the information from an external device to the server, this action can only be performed through Codec12. If you want to add a timestamp to the packet, then the codec used will be Codec13.
You can read about the FMC640 RS-232 modes and Codecs on the followings links:
Thank you very much. How to set the FMC640 to use Codec12 or Codec13? I open the configuration tool, can only find Codec8 and Codec8E.
Hello!
Codec 12 does not need activation, it sets automatically when you select the TCP Link mode. Same way for Codec 13, it sets automatically when you enable the Message Timestamp on RS232 Settings.
You can identify which codec the tracker sends to the server by the Codec ID:
Best regards.
The structure of the sent commands is the same. There is no difference in what protocol is used to open a session/send records, TCP or UDP. The structure of commands sent over UDP is the same as the structure of commands sent over TCP.
Kind Regards.
