Description is s short text description of the comm link.
URI, or Uniform Resource Identifier includes a DNS host name or network IP
address, and port number, using the standard host:port convention. It can
also contain an optional scheme prefix, which can be either udp://,
tcp:// or modem:// for modem links. If present, the scheme will override
the default scheme for the selected protocol. For example, to use the
Pelco-D protocol over TCP (instead of the default UDP), prepend tcp:// to
the URI.
Poll Enabled is a flag which can enable or disable polling.
Comm Config is a set of properties which can be shared among multiple comm links.
