Overview
One method of connecting to a device and communicating with it is via a TCP/IP connection. Often Port servers are used closer to the devices in the field to convert the TCP/IP communications to Serial for connectivity over Ethernet networks.
...
Logical ports are defined within ACM to represent a communication method used to connect to a device. Each logical port (Port) has a name that is used to reference it. Whenever a port is used, all of the settings defined by that port are used for communications. Multiple devices and/or multiple device types in ACM can use a single port for communications.
TCP/IP ports release connections between poll intervals.
Configuration
Once a port has been added to the ACM server, the port must be configured by editing the created object. Configuration may be accomplished using the default Form view.
