Broadcast UDP (BU)
| Function | Defines whether the device will accept or reject broadcast UDP datagrams |
| Set (S) command format | SBUx, where x: 0 (disabled), 1 (enabled) |
| Get (G) command format | GBU |
| Initialize (I) command effect | Initialized unconditionally, through network command, or serial command |
| Post-initialization value | 0 (disabled) |
| Change takes effect | After reboot |
| Relevance conditions | Current Transport Protocol (TP) setting = 0 (UDP) |
When Broadcast UDP is 1 (enabled), the device will accept and route the data received in broadcast UDP datagrams, as if these packets were addressed directly to this device. Broadcast packets must still be addressed to the correct Port Number (PN). The device will ignore broadcast UDP packets when Broadcast UDP is 0 (disabled).
This Setting is irrelevant when current Transport Protocol (TP) setting is 1 (TCP) because TCP protocol cannot use broadcast packets to carry data.
