serial-SerialHelper
This container slot configures the serial port of any serial-based driver (found under the driver’s network-level component as Serial Port Config).
To access these properties, expand and right-click the network node, click and expand Serial Port Config or click Serial Port Config.
Note: These properties are also under any SerialTunnel (in a station’s TunnelService). These components support a tunneling connection to the same type
of network. You should configure these properties the same as for
the SerialHelper of the associated driver network.
