I am having issues with losing my connection to a TCP IP barcode scanner on port 51240, It works for a while but then the node shows disconnected. Once i restart the scanner it so far always starts working again for x amount of time. I don't know if its a scanner problem or node-red setup issue.
My next step was to try a different TCP port but I am looking at other ideas on what could be the problem?
I should add I can always ping the IP address
