There are two transport layer protocols supported in Point-to- Point mode: TCP and UDP. TCP offers reliable message deliv- ery but may slow down performance. UDP offers less reliable message delivery than TCP and may be selected to improve speed at the cost of reliability.

When a RangeLAN2 Serial Adapter is set to Broadcast mode, every Serial Adapter which receives the signal error-free and which is set to the same Domain and Security ID will process the
