2.3.3.8  PakTcp Client Config

PakTcp client config (enabled, disabled) [disabled]:

Enabling this option will set up the NL110 to act as a client in a PakBus
network.  In this mode, the NL110 will actively maintain a TCP/IP connection
with a PakTcp server over the 10 Base-T connection.  The Server IP address is
the address of the server to which the NL110 will attempt to connect and act as
a client.  The Server IP port number is used to specify the port for that server.
This setting is typically used when the NL110 is configured to communicate
with another NL110 over an Ethernet connection, so that the two PakBus
networks served by the NL110s can be merged.  In most situations, this setting
can be disabled.

2.3.3.9  Configuration Monitor Telnet Port

Configuration monitor telnet port (0..65000) [23]:

TCP/IP Telnet communications can be used to remotely connect to the NL110.
The only option to configure is the port number, which is typically set to 23.
Valid numbers can be 0 to 65,000

2.3.3.10  Telnet Session Password

The Telnet Session Password is the string that must be entered to communicate
with the NL110 over a Telnet session.  The string can range from 1 to 20
alphanumeric characters and is case-sensitive.  This security measure is
implemented to help prevent unauthorized users from gaining access to the
NL110 device.

2.3.3.11  Serial Server Watchdog

If no communication is detected for a specified number of minutes, the NL110
will drop the communications link.  This feature is called a "watchdog".  The
watchdog alleviates the problem of a communications port being held open,
thus rendering the device inaccessible, if the NL110 and the remote device
failed to terminate the communications link in a "normal" manner.  The number
of minutes that the NL110 should wait for activity on a port before timing out is
entered for this menu item.  This setting affects all communication modes,
including when the NL110 is configured as a PakBus based or TCP/IP based
serial server, and when communicating with the NL110 during a Telnet session.

Power Saving Mode (enabled, disabled) [disabled]:

2.3.3.12  MODBUS/TCP Gateway Config

When this setting is enabled, the NL110 will translate MODBUS/TCP packets
that arrive on the 10 Base-T link for use in a PakBus network.  The translation
provided by this mode is MODBUS/TCP message format to MODBUS RTU
serial message format.  Unless you are setting up a PakBus network to also
