Configure a Serial-Connected Master: TCP/UDP Sockets
Chapter 4 Configure Industrial Automation (IA) 67
Configure a Serial-Connected Master: TCP/UDP Sockets
When to Use
Use this procedure in the following situations:
• When a protocol master using one of the supported serial port protocols
(Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, DF1 Full-Duplex, DF1 Half-Duplex,
FINS, Hostlink, CompoWay/F or a protocol that meets Digi’s definition
of a “user-defined” protocol) is connected to the serial port.
• When the master requires TCP or UDP sockets for network
communication.
Procedure
1. Access the web interface by entering the device server IP address in a
browser’s URL window.
2. Log in to the device server as root. The default password is dbps.
3. From the main menu, choose Setup Wizards > Industrial Protocols.
4. Choose the serial port protocol required by the master.
5. Choose Master as the Mode.
6. Configure up to 8 network slaves.
7. Change the default socket number only if required.
Configure a Serial-Connected Slave: Other IA Protocol
When to Use
Use this procedure in the following situations:
• When the device connected to the serial port is a slave that is using a
“non-supported” serial-port protocol, that is, the serial port protocol is
not Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, DF1 Half-Duplex, DF1 Full-Duplex,
FINS, Hostlink, CompoWay/F, or a protocol that meets the definition of
a “user-defined” protocol.
• When you do not want to set up the device server for RealPort COM
Port redirection.
• When multiple masters will not be communicating with this slave.
Procedure
1. Access the web interface by entering the device server IP address in a
browser’s URL window.
2. Log in to the device server as root. The default password is dbps.
3. From the main menu, choose Configure > Port.
4. From the Port configuration page, set the Device type to Printer, adjust
other serial port communication parameters as required by the
connected slave, and click Submit.
5. Choose Advanced, check Binary Mode, and click Submit.
