Line Service Commands

 

port

 

The destination port of the remote Modbus TCP Slave that the IOLAN will connect to.

 

protocol

 

Specify the protocol that is used between the Modbus Master and Modbus Slave(s),

 

either TCP or UDP.

 

range-mode

 

If you specify Host, the IP address is used for the first UID specified in the range. The

 

last octect in the IPv4 address is then incremented for subsequent UID’s in that range.

 

The Host option is not applicable for IPv6 addresses. If you specify Gateway, the

 

Modbus Master Gateway will use the same IP address when connecting to all the

 

remote Modbus slaves in the specified UID range.

 

slave-ip

 

The IP address of the TCP/Ethernet Modbus Slave.

 

uid-range

 

When Range Mode is Host and you have sequential Modbus Slave IP addresses (for

 

example, 10.10.10.1, 10.10.10.2, 10.10.10.3, etc.), you can specify a UID range and the

 

IOLAN will automatically increment the last digit of the configured IP address.

 

Therefore, you can specify a UID range of 1-100, and the IOLAN will route Master

 

Modbus messages to all Modbus Slaves with IP addresses of 10.10.10.1 - 10.10.10.100.

Set Multihost Line

 

Description

Configures multiple hosts or a primary/backup host schema for Silent Raw, Reverse

 

Raw, or Client-Initiated TruePort service types (multihost must be enabled by the line

 

service type for this to take effect, see Set Line Service on page 43 for the command to

User Level

host <host>

 

Specify the preconfigured host that will be in the multihost list.

 

<TCP_port>

 

Specify the TCP port that the IOLAN will use to communicate to the Host.

 

delete

 

Deletes the specified entry from the multihost table.

Set Line Initiate-Connection

Description

Determines how the connection is initiated for Direct Telnet.

User Level

Admin

Syntax
