UDP CONFIGURATION
UDP (User Datagram Protocol)
enables applications using UDP socket programs to
communicate with the serial ports on the serial server. UDP protocol provides connectionless
communications, which allows data to be broadcast to and received from multiple nodes on a
network.
In UDP mode, if you want to control which network node receives data, you must specify the IP
address and UDP port the data will be sent to. You can choose to send to:
Nobody (Port Only in Receive mode)
