Serial and MODBUS
Serial data transport via TCP
Connect the PC’s Ethernet port to ETH1 or ETH2 of the radio being configured and using a web browser, browse to the
radio’s configuration page by entering the IP address the unit into the browser’s URL bar. Once the configuration has been
activated, repeat the process for the remaining radio.
To access the parameters below, browse to the “Setup” tab and select the “COM1” option under “Configuration”.
Remote - 192.168.2.17
COM1:
Mode: Serial Device Server
Character Layer and interface: match the
configuration of the external serial device you are
connecting to the Q data radios Serial Port. The
default is 9600,8,N,1 - RS232.
Packet Layer: MODBUS
Protocol: TCP
Protocol Mode: TCP Client
Primary IP Address: 192.168.2.16
Primary IP Port: 30010
Entry Point - 192.168.2.16
COM1:
Mode: Serial Device Server
Character Layer and Interface: match the
configuration of the external serial device you
are connecting to the Q data radio’s Serial Port.
The default is 9600,8,N,1 - RS232.
Packet Layer: MODBUS
Protocol: TCP
Protocol Mode: TCP Server
Local IP Port: 30010
Inactivity Timeout: 30 seconds.
Serial data transport via UDP
Connect the PC’s Ethernet port to ETH1 or ETH2 of the radio being configured and using a web browser, browse to the
radio’s configuration page by entering the IP address the unit into the browser’s URL bar. Once the configuration has been
activated, repeat the process for the remaining radio.

Introduction
Point to Point serial connectivity can be achieved by using the serial device server embedded within the Q data radios radio. The serial
device server has three protocols available, each with their own benefits:
TCP: Establishes a session based connection, providing high reliability on data delivery.
UDP: Consumes low bandwidth and provides a low latency connection.
PPP: Provides a virtual Ethernet connection over a serial link.
