Frequently asked questions

What if I do not know the type?

The catalog offers UDP Generic Port and TCP Service for general services. Use a product-specific preset only after confirming it matches the application.

Why can I not continue?

Read the form messages. A port may be missing, B/R may need PPS, or a value may exceed the displayed restriction.
