Serial and MODBUS
Serial data transport via TCP
Connect your PC’s Ethernet port to ETH1 or ETH2 of the radio being configured and using a web browser, browse to the
radio’s configuration page by entering the IP address the unit into the browser’s URL bar. Once the configuration has been
activated, repeat the process for the remaining radio.
To access the parameters below, browse to the “Setup” tab and select the “COM1” option under “Configuration”.

Introduction
Point to Point serial connectivity can be achieved by using the serial device server embedded within the Q data radios radio. The serial
device server has three protocols available, each with their own benefits:
TCP: Establishes a session based connection, providing high reliability on data delivery.
UDP: Consumes low bandwidth and provides a low latency connection.
PPP: Provides a virtual Ethernet connection over a serial link.
