Local Radio IP Port
modular connector on the radio's front panel. As a general rule,
port numbers below 2000 should be avoided, as some are
reserved for special applications in data networks.
•
Destination IP Address
device connected through the RJ-45 modular connector on the
radio's front panel (typically a PC). Any valid IP address may be
entered here.
•
Destination IP Port
modular connector on the connected device (typically a PC). Port
numbers below 2000 should be avoided, as some are reserved for
special applications in data networks.

Modbus TCP<->RTU Conversion
messages to Modbus RTU, and conversely, Modbus RTU to
Modbus TCP. This feature eliminates the need for external equip-
ment to handle the conversion.
The Terminal Server supports the following communication protocols:
• Point-to-Point: TCP or UDP
• Point-to-Multipoint
is a multicast IP address)
• Multipoint-to-Multipoint
IP Addresses are a multicast IP address)

Data from local multicast IP addresses is always delivered to the socket layer
by the radio's TCP/IP stack. Therefore, to receive data from local multicast IP
addresses, simply set the Local Radio IP Port equal to the destination IP port
of the multicast IP packet.
