Configure a serial-connected master: TCP/UDP sockets

Use this procedure in the following situations:

• When a protocol master using one of the supported serial port protocols (Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, DF1 Full-Duplex, FINS, Hostlink, CompoWay/F or a protocol that meets Digi’s definition of a “user-defined” protocol) is connected to the serial port.
• When the master requires TCP or UDP sockets for network communication.
