Protocol (TCP), respecting the Modbus TCP protocol, and forwards the frame to a Server Gateway or native
Modbus TCP RTU. Returning responses are stripped of their TCP headers and issued to the master.
The Modbus Server application accepts TCP encapsulated Modbus TCP messages from Client Gateways and native
masters. After removing the TCP headers, the messages are issued to the RTU. Responses are TCP encapsulated
and returned to the originator.
The following illustrates a complex network of Client Gateways, Server Gateways and native TCPModbus devices.
