Manager TCP Port:
The port number for TCP communications to the Manager application. Both a primary and a secondary address is provided if
Manager Messages are desired to be sent to two applications/destinations.
Manager UDP Port:
The port number for UDP communications to the Manager application. Both a primary and a secondary address is provided if
Manager Messages are desired to be sent to two applications/destinations.
Manager Use TCP for Status Packets:
The default communications protocol for Status change and Traffic data packets is UDP. If TCP is required for Status packets,
this setting should be enabled.
Note: This option should only be activated if essential for networking reasons. The UDP protocol is
strongly preferred, as the protocol and processing overheads are significantly lower and packets
can be sent at a higher rate. Note also that Traffic data packets will always use UDP protocol.
