The UDP profile configures a serial port to broadcast UDP data to systems and/or receive UDP data 
from systems.

When you configure 

, you are setting up a range of IP addresses and the port numbers that you 

will use to send UDP data to or receive UDP data from.

When you configure UDP for

 parameter.

All UDP data received from hosts that have an IP address that falls within the range of
