# TCP Stop

## Overview

![The TCP Stop Node.](https://1553081948-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FU990HLHWA30dTfELtDUK%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-8d2c924303713e7847d8a4ec088b1609dc0b740c%2Ftcpstopnode20241.png?alt=media)

**TCP Stop** stops the currently opened **TCP** connection.

**TCP Communication** in **Incari** is available as a plugin and is enabled as default. However, in the case that it is disabled in the **Plugins Editor**, it will not appear in the **Project Settings** and **TCP Stop** will not show up in the [**Toolbox**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/toolbox/overview). Please refer to the [**Plugins Editor**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/modules/plugins/communication/tcpconnectionsmanager) to find out more information.

It is important to note that while the **TCP Stop Node** stops a **TCP** connection, it may not completely finish disconnecting from said connection when the **Node** is executed. This could lead to the **Logic** attached to its **Output Pulse** to not work even though there is technically nothing wrong. In order to avoid this, it is highly suggested to use the [**On TCP Stop Node**](https://docs.incari.com/incari-studio/toolbox/communication/tcp/events/ontcpstop) instead. This way, the **Logic** will only execute once the **TCP** connection has definitely been disconnected from. This way, it is assured that the **Logic** will execute once the connection to the **TCP** connection has been terminated.

Again, the user must first use the **TCP Stop Node** to close the connection. Separately, the **On TCP Stop Node** can be used to execute the desired **Communication Logic**.
