Using 7thUDP2TCP for Device Control

Click Create to add a new I/O configuration and type in any free Input Port number of the server
(make a note of it), then enter the device IP address and its Port number (connecting it to the server):

Confirm with OK, and add a new record 

for each TCP device

:

Repeat until you have all your device details listed, making note of each of the Input port numbers
that you have used for each device.
