Connect® Family Command Reference and the application note Remote Cellular TCP/IP Access to Modbus
Ethernet and Serial Devices available on the Digi Support site.
Known limitations
n You can use Digi RealPort only when the Modbus Bridge function is disabled. You cannot use
RealPort with Modbus/RTU or ASCII to access the Modbus Bridge function.
n The outgoing slave idle time used for remote Modbus IP-based slaves does not always close
idle sockets predictably.
n While the Modbus bridge is active, do not attempt to “Port Forward” TCP 502 or UDP 502 to
local Modbus/TCP servers while the Modbus Bridge is active. This causes neither function to
work. Disable the Modbus Bridge if you want traditional Router/NAT function for Modbus/TCP
port 502.
Enable or disable Modbus Bridge
To enable or disable Modbus Bridge, choose one of the following options:
n To disable the Modbus Bridge, select a different port profile than Industrial Automation.
n To enable Modbus Bridge, reselect the Industrial Automation port profile.
Note Any specialized settings configured using the set ia commands are lost when you disable
the Modbus bridge. You must reconfigure these settings when you re-enable the Industrial
Automation port profile.
Configuration through Digi Remote Manager
Remote Manager (formerly Device Cloud) is an on-demand service. After creating a Remote Manager
account, you can connect to Remote Manager. There are no infrastructure requirements. Remote
devices and enterprise business applications connect to Remote Manager via standards-based Web
Services.
See the Remote Manager User Guide for details on:
n Using Remote Manager as a management interface
n Creating a Remote Manager account
n Adding your Digi Connect and ConnectPort TS Family device to the Remote Manager device list
so you can manage it from that interface
IPv6 support
Select Digi products support Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), electronic devices use this network
layer standard to exchange data across a packet-switched network. IPv6 is provides more addresses
for networked devices than IPv4.
The primary change from IPv4 to IPv6 is the length of network addresses. IPv4 address are 32 bits
long. In contrast, IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long and are typically composed of two logical parts: a
64-bit network prefix and a 64-bit host part, which is either automatically generated from the
interface’s MAC address or assigned sequentially.
IPv6 addresses are normally written as eight groups of four hexadecimal digits. For example:
3002:0ff2:63a5:0db8:42ae:0040:02de:3560. You can omit leading zeros in a group. If a four-digit group
is 0000, the zeros may be omitted, and that part of the address shortened to two consecutive colons,
