I have a scanner configured to transmit UDP data to the Ignition Server.  
I had to give the scanner a gateway address so that it could communicate over WAN.  
In the device config I have tried nearly every combination except the right one to read the port.  
Using UDP tools I was able to see the data on that port as such 41,-9999.0000  
There is a carriage return at the end of the message.  
I was thinking this would be  
char based  
message delimiter=/r  
field count=2  
field delimiter=,

Nothing seems to be working, all I see are no data available for reading from a non-blocking stream. Any suggestions?
