8.16 Data Serial Port Settings Dialog Box
The Data Serial Port Settings dialog box opens when you click the Serial Settings
button on the Radio Configuration dialog box.
Use this dialog box to configure settings for serial data to be encapsulated and
sent over the wireless Ethernet network.

Encapsulation Protocol
o
TCP Client - Serial data is encapsulated into a TCP packet. This radio will
initiate a communication with a TCP server, either another radio or
another device. TCP can be more reliable than UDP, but uses more
bandwidth.
o
TCP Server - Radio receives data from a TCP Client. TCP can be more
reliable than UDP, but uses more bandwidth.
o
TCP Client/Server - Radio can both send and receive TCP traffic. This
radio will initiate a communication with a TCP server, whether it be
another radio or another device. It will also receive. data from a TCP
Client. TCP can be more reliable than UDP, but uses more bandwidth.
o
UDP Point-to-Point - UDP is the standard method for encapsulation.
Point-to-Point allows this device to send to another IP address and to
receive UDP data.
o
UDP Point-Multipoint (Point) - UDP is the standard method for
encapsulation. UDP point to multipoint allows many device to send to and
receive data from a single device. As a point, the device will sent to and
receive from many devices.
o
UDP Point-Multipoint (Multipoint) - UDP is the standard method for
encapsulation. UDP point to multipoint allows many device to send to and
receive data from a single device. As a multipoint, the device will sent to
and receive from one device.
o
UDP Multipoint-to-Multipoint - UDP is the standard method for
encapsulation. UDP multipoint allows this device to send data to and
receive data from many devices.

Remote IP: Enter the IP Address of the radio that should receive
encapsulated serial protocol packets.

Remote Port: Select the UDP port number to use for encapsulated serial
data transmission.

Listen IP: Enter the IP Address of the radio that should originate
encapsulated serial protocol packets.

Listen Port: Select the UDP port number to use for encapsulated serial data
transmission.

Modbus RTU Encapsulation: This setting determines how the RLX-IFHxE
radio converts between serial data and an Ethernet packet.
When unselected, the serial data is encapsulated/decapsultaed directly
to/from a standard UDP or TCP packet.
When selected, the serial data is translated into/from a properly formatted
Modbus TCP packet.
