EtherNet/IP Serial Interface (Class 0x68)

Data is sent and received through the Serial Interface using explicit messaging. "Send", "Get", and "Receive" are from the EIP master scanner perspective. That is "Send" is data transferred from the EIP master to the scanner. "Get" and "Receive" is data transferred from the scanner to the EIP master.

The host should issue a vendor specific service Send_with_Response (0x45) to vendor specific Object Class 104 (0x68), Instance 1, Attribute 106 (0x6A). This service includes a 16 byte header that specifies parameters for control of the serial interface.
