TCPConnection Class

Create a TCP Connection to a Brainboxes EDDevice Use Brainboxes Boost.IO to find out the IP address of the Brainboxes EDDevice on your network

Connection timeout for the socket in milliseconds, default 20 seconds This is approximately the same as the TCPClient connection timeout, however unlike the TCPClient, this connection timeout can be altered

Whether this connection to a Brainboxes Device is available, e.g. online or offline​. In case of network TCP connection: this is if the device is pingable on the network. In case of serial connection: this is if the device COM port is listed on the system and not open by another process.

Whether this connection instance to a Brainboxes Device is active

The TCP port of the Connection to the Brainboxes Device e.g. "9500"

The Connections underlying stream class

The connection and stream timeouts (for both stream read and stream write), measured in millseconds

Connect to the ED Device

Disconnect from the ED Device

Dispose of this Brainboxes device

Determines whether the specified object is equal to the current object.

Serves as the default hash function.

Gets the Type of the current instance.

ToString

When the status of the connection changes this event is raised e.g. when IsConnected changes from false to true or when IsAvailable changes: * for example for a TCPConnection if the IP address is goes from on-line to off-line * or for example for a SerialConnection when the COM name is no longer present or in use by another program

The default port for ASCII

The default port for Modbus TCP

The IP address of the Connection to the Brainboxes Device e.g. "192.168.0.1"
