Selecting the DNP3 protocol on the Ethernet port launches the DNP3/TCP server along

with the Modbus/TCP server allowing simultaneous connections on both TCP ports.
Selecting the Modbus protocol for the port disables the DNP3/TCP server.

The meter automatically detects a replaceable communication module and does not allow
you to change the interface, baud rate or data format for the Dial-up modem, and for the
Ethernet port.
