2.1.3 Port Number  
Every TCP connection and every UDP datagram is defined by a destination IP address and a 
port number. For example, a Telnet application commonly uses port number 23. A port 
number is similar to an extension on a PBX system.  
The unit 's serial channel (port) can be associated with a specific TCP/UDP port number. Port 
number 9999 is reserved for access to the unit's Setup (configuration) Mode window.  
2.2 Physically Connecting the Unit
