When configuring a connection with an S7-1200 CPU for ISO-on-TCP, use only ASCII characters in the TSAP extension

for the passive communication partners.
Transport Service Access Points (TSAPs)
Using TSAPs, ISO on TCP protocol and S7 communication allows multiple connections to a
single IP address (up to 64K connections). TSAPs uniquely identify these communication
end point connections to an IP address.
In the "Address Details" section of the Connection Parameters dialog, you define the TSAPs
to be used. The TSAP of a connection in the CPU is entered in the "Local TSAP" field. The
TSAP assigned for the connection in your partner CPU is entered under the "Partner TSAP"
field.
Port Numbers
With TCP and UDP protocols, the connection parameter configuration of the Local (active)
connection CPU must specify the remote IP address and port number of the Partner
(passive) connection CPU.
In the "Address Details" section of the Connection Parameters dialog, you define the ports to
be used. The port of a connection in the CPU is entered in the "Local Port" field. The port
assigned for the connection in your partner CPU is entered under the "Partner Port" field.
