4. Properties | Vlinx MESR9xx Modbus Gateway |
MESR9xxModbus gateways come from the factory with a default static IP address of 192.168.0.1, but will be reconfigured automatically via DHCP as appropriate.
If you need to change the static IP address and do not know what address to use, consult your network administrator.
Link Status
Link Status of the currently selected Modbus gateway is shown on the Login page of Vlinx Manager. Link status indicates the type of Ethernet connection between the computer and Modbus gateway. It will either display 10BaseT or 100BaseTX in full duplex or half duplex. Link status is dependant on the LAN, switches, hubs used in the LAN topology.
MAC Address
The MAC Address is a hardware level address of the Modbus gateway that cannot be changed. It is assigned in the factory. Every Ethernet device manufactured has it own unique MAC address. The MAC address of each Modbus gateway is printed on the device's label. The MAC address of the currently selected Modbus gateway is also displayed on the Login page of Vlinx Manager.
Modbus Priority
This allows the gateway to move high priority messages to the front of the serial message buffer. The priority can be based on the originating IP address, the Modbus ID, the Modbus function code, or any combination of the three. Up to five different priorities can be set.
The default will have all the check boxes unchecked and all the fill in boxes blank.
Modbus Serial Retries
This is the maximum number of times that the Modbus gateway will retry to send a Modbus message to a Modbus client, before reporting a 0Bh exception if it is selected. This should be limited to between 0 and 5.
