Custom - TCP/IP protocols

Selecting Custom as the application protocol enables you to support access for any application or resource that can be located using its IP address and port number through the transmission control protocol (TCP) and internet protocol (IP). For example, you can set the application protocol to Custom to add printers or smart appliances that have an IP address and a port that they listen on.
