TCPClient

Opens a TCP/IP socket with a third-party Ethernet device for as long as the input is high.

SIMPL+ Wrapper that wraps TCP Client DGI DotNetTcpClient

Recreates the TCP/IP Client found on the main Crestron library with a couple of improvements:

• IP addresses and ports can be assigned either as a Join Signals or as Parameters, which avoids having to create IP tables.
• Joins allow to change of addresses or ports during runtime. The underlying C# driver will automatically disconnect and reconnect whenever the IP address, Hostname or Port are changed
• As long as the Connect signal is High the driver will try to connect, even if no remote device connects, or if a device connected, and the dropped its connection. Time between retries will increase with each unsuccessful connection to not overburden the network or the processor.
• Failures are not logged in the Logger. To see results in real time check status of symbol.
• Adds Serilog to log events. Log Levels can be set from Verbose to Error. Default is Error.
• Logs will be written to console when the program runs in an Appliance and to Error Log when running on a server.
• supports resolving mDNS names
• Sent Data to SIMPL is limited to chunks of 250 characters, to work about SIMPL's serial join character limitation.

VC-4 Notes

Under CentOs, the mDNS ports are closed by default. For your program to resolve mDNS commands the following must be done:

sudo firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=public --add-port=5353/udp
sudo firewall-cmd --reload
