This menu option is used to configure the serial device server for the serial communications port. Serial
device data may be brought into the IP network through TCP, UDP, or multicast; it may also exit the VIP4G
network on another VIP4G serial port. The fully-featured RS232 interface supports hardware handshaking.
Basic configuration of the serial port would be to first, set the appropriate interface connection settings
such as the baud rate and data format. Next, it is critical to define the IP Protocol Config, since all serial
data entering the VIP4G is essentially converted to IP, to either TCP, or UDP packets. The following
section describes the configuration of the serial port.
