Configure a serial-connected slave: generic procedure
Use this procedure when a protocol slave is connected to the serial port of the device server. If the
associated master requires COM port redirection, see Set up COMport redirection.
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.
3. From the main menu, choose Setup Wizards > Industrial Protocols.
4. Choose the serial port protocol required by the slave that is connected to the serial port.
5. For device type, select Slave.
Any number of network masters can communicate with the slave.
Configure a serial-connected master: generic procedure
Use this procedure when a protocol master is connected to the serial port of the device server. If the
master requires TCP socket or UDP socket communication, see Configure a serial-connected master:
TCP/UDP sockets.
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.
3. From the main menu, choose Setup Wizards > Industrial Protocols.
4. Choose the serial port protocol required by the master.
5. For Mode, select Master.
6. Configure up to 8 network slaves.
Configure a serial-connected master: TCP/UDP sockets
Use this procedure in the following situations:
n When a protocol master using one of the supported serial port protocols (Modbus ASCII,
Modbus RTU, DF1 Full-Duplex, FINS, Hostlink, CompoWay/F or a protocol that meets Digi’s
definition of a “user-defined” protocol) is connected to the serial port.
n When the master requires TCP or UDP sockets for network communication.
To configure a serial-connected master:
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.
3. From the main menu, choose Setup Wizards > Industrial Protocols.
4. Choose the serial port protocol required by the master.
5. For Mode, select Master.
6. Configure up to 8 network slaves.
7. Change the default socket number only if required.
