The Port field enables you to select the serial port tag or TCP/IP tag you wish to be associated with this driver tag.

The port on the Data Radio unit, from which VTS collects diagnostic information, is a true RS-232 serial port.  In order to connect to this port with VTS, you can use one of several different hardware solutions:

•    Serial port cable connected directly.

For this case, configure and select a serial port tag.

•    Stand alone serial modem connected to the serial port on the radio.

 VTS has its own modem that is used to dial up the modem connected to the radio. For this option, configure and select a serial port that is using a modem.

•    Ethernet terminal server connected to the serial port on the radio.

VTS is connected to the same network as the terminal server and can connect to it with either a TCP/IP or UDP/IP port tag

Any type of VTS port tag may be used, but it must match the hardware connection to the radio.
