The RLX-IFHE radio supports the following serial encapsulation protocols.
 TCP Client - Serial data is encapsulated into a TCP packet. This radio will
initiate a communication with a TCP server, either another radio or another
device. TCP can be more reliable than UDP, but uses more bandwidth.
 TCP Server - Radio receives data from a TCP Client. TCP can be more
reliable than UDP, but uses more bandwidth.
 TCP Client/Server - Radio can both send and receive TCP traffic. This radio
will initiate a communication with a TCP server, whether it be another radio or
another device. It will also receive. data from a TCP Client. TCP can be more
reliable than UDP, but uses more bandwidth.
 UDP Point-to-Point - UDP is the standard method for encapsulation. Point-
to-Point allows this device to send to another IP address and to receive UDP
data.
 UDP Point-Multipoint (Point) - UDP is the standard method for
encapsulation. UDP point to multipoint allows many device to send to and
receive data from a single device. As a point, the device will sent to and
receive from many devices.
 UDP Point-Multipoint ( Multipoint ) - UDP is the standard method for
encapsulation. UDP point to multipoint allows many device to send to and
receive data from a single device. As a multipoint, the device will sent to and
receive from one device.
 UDP Multipoint-to-Multipoint - UDP is the standard method for
encapsulation. UDP multipoint allows this device to send data to and receive
data from many devices.
