UDP sockets (or UDP socket service)
Similar to TCP socket service (discussed above) except that the UDP
protocol is used instead of TCP, which means that the reliability service
TCP performs is not provided. Advantages of UDP socket service are
slightly less protocol overhead and support for multicasting. Some
applications support connections to devices using TCP socket.
UDP tunnel
A UDP socket configuration in which a master is connected to the serial
port of one device server and a slave to the serial port of another Digi
device.
Industrial Automation Configuration Wizard
To help you configure your Digi product for use in an IA application, a
configuration wizard and several configuration profiles, or scenarios, are
provided. To launch the wizard from the Web user interface, go to
Applications > Industrial Automation and click the link in the text “For a
guided installation, launch the Industrial Automation Wizard.”
Industrial Automation Configuration Profiles
