Modbus Message Routing: Port 2001
When Modbus messages are sent to the PLX32-EIP-MBTCP-UA over the
TCP/IP connection to port 2001, the messages are routed by the gateway
directly out the serial communication port (Port 0, if it is configured as a Modbus
master). The commands (whether a read or a write command) are immediately
routed to the slave devices on the serial port. Response messages from the
slave devices are routed by the gateway to the TCP/IP network to be received by
the originating host.

the [+] next to MBTCP Servers.
