routing path using its internal Address Map or Implicit
Attach Addressing.

network.

another network. Type the address of the bridge first,
followed by addresses for additional Modbus Plus
networks, Modbus Plus devices on those networks, or
Modbus devices bridged to the Modbus Plus networks.
Separate the addresses in the routing path with commas (for
example: 10, 3, 21, 0, 0).
