If you host a WCF service in IIS, you either consume it through HTTP and/or HTTPS.

If you want to consume it by other protocols, you need to add extra service bindings/endpoints, and enable TCP bindings in IIS. See http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11413406/net-tcp-http-wcf-hosted-in-iis for an example

You`ll need IIS 7+ for that. Then you`ll be able to use TCP as your binding protocol. 

Here is info on how to enable non-http binding: http://bloggingabout.net/blogs/marc/archive/2007/10/23/wcf-hosting-non-http-protocols-in-iis-7-0.aspx

Hi,

By default, IIS supports http or https protocols, so the binding like netTcpBinding or netNamedPipeBindings can not be used in IIS host.

Then if we want to use netTcpBindings, we need to manage some settings.

Here is a artilce about this, please try to check:
