Flow

Flow control sets the local handshaking method for stopping serial input/output.
Generally, flow control is not required if the connection is used to pass a blocked
protocol with block sizes less than 1k (ACK/NAK) and/or speeds of 19200 or less.
Use the following table to select flow control options:

Port Number

The setting represents the source port number in TCP connections. It is the number
that identifies the channel for remote initiating connections. The default setting for
Port 1 is 10001. The range is 1-65535, except for the following reserved port
numbers:
