5 Field Communication
5.1 Bus & Protocol
The NTC-400 Series Router router can use a DB-9 male port or other type of serial port to connect via an RS-232 serial device
to an IP-based Ethernet LAN. These communication protocols give users access to serial devices anywhere over a local LAN or
the Internet. They can be either "Virtual COM" and "Modbus".
