20.2.2 Other security measures reviewed by Device
Configuration Utility
Many of these settings can be accessed from the Device Configuration UtilitySettings Editor tab.
Settings are organized in tabs and can be searched for.

20.2.2.1 PakBus TCP Enabled

See Device Configuration Utility > Settings Editor > Advanced tab.
