8.1
The use of the IEC-104 protocol
The IEC-104 and IEC-101 protocols share the same ASDU level messaging but differ
on the link level. IEC-104 is intended for packet-switched TCP/ IP communication
whereas IEC-101 is intended for serial communication. By using the device, the
IEC-101 slaves (for example RTUs) can be connected to a IEC-104 master (for
example SCADA). The device requests an event from the IEC-101 slave locally and
sends them to the IEC-104 master. This eliminates the need to continuously poll the
data remotely and therefore reduces the communication costs on pay-per-use wireless
network.

Serial settings
The serial settings define the properties of physical serial
communication between the device and an IEC-101 slave. The
selection between RS-232/422/485 is made with physical DIP
switches located below the RS2 serial port.
