The Custom App/Plugin profile is used in conjunction with custom applications created for the
IOLAN by using the Perle SDK. See the SDK Programmer’s Guide (the SDK and guide are
accessible via a request form located on the Perle website at
www.perle.com/supportfiles/SDK_Request.shtml) for information about the functions that
are supported.

Custom App/Plugin profile to actually run a custom application. You must also specify the program

custom application is automatically run when the serial port is started.
