Hi All,
I want to send a payload through a different TCP port, now I use TCP Out as the sender of the payload.
The problem is that the payload I sent is received by another port.
How do I send the payload according to the port that I specified so it won't be sent to all TCP?
Please Help Me,

have you tried using the `Type` `Connect to`?

Hi @zenofmud
It's not working. So my payload is command to read modbus with buffer. When i use "reply to TCP", it's working and i can get the modbus value (but problem is the other port received the same command).
```auto

Hopefully someone else will chime in. I haven't played with the nodes, my suggestion was based on a quick look.

Did you resolve this issue? I also have the same issue where I send data simultaneously on ports 2000 & 2001 but the responses get mixed up across nodes.
