Modbus TCP
From Zenitel Wiki
Introduction
Modbus TCP is a Modbus variant used for communications over TCP/IP networks, connecting over port 502. It does not require a checksum calculation as lower layers already provide checksum protection. Note that this is not the same as as Modbus over TCP/IP. For background information on Modbus and its different variants please see the Modbus article in Wikipedia. Modbus is often used by PLC's.
