Ports
The PDTS supports serial and Ethernet ports. The Ports tab allows you to configure the serial port and the IPv4/IPv6 addresses and ports for connection to the system and to the commissioning PC.
The Port type can be set to DyNet1, DyNet2, Fidelio, or Text and Binary Integration to define the trunk-and-spur topology of the system, or to connect to a third-party device/system.
To ensure correct routing, we recommend adding ports via the  Bridge Configuration Wizard.

Host Name |
Name displayed on the router’s connected devices page. |
Keep alive retry time |
The time between sending TCP keep-alive messages if no other message has been sent or received. |
Route RS-485 bad packets to trunk |
If enabled, bad packets received on the RS-485 spur are routed to the trunk port inside a valid DyNet2 message. These can then be viewed in the Network Log to help diagnose network issues. |
