Protocols
On the left of the panel you will see a list of the IOSlaves that are installed on your system. IOSlaves are how applications talk to other computers, other applications, or act on files.
Clicking on an IOSlave name will display some help information about that IOSlave, such as how to use it, and what it does.
The protocols module is purely informational, you cannot change any settings here.
