Using the Bridge Software

HMake sure your Ethernet packet driver program will be called as it was setup by the driver installation. Refer to your driver guidebook to ensure that it will be called properly.

The driver may be called from your AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS file. Note that you can also call the driver from your new GATELOOP.BAT file. If necessary, edit GATELOOP.BAT to call the driver. Typical calls to drivers pass a command line parameter 0x60 (hexadecimal 60) to define the driver interrupt.

HEdit your CONFIG.SYS file to call the Modbus Plus driver MBPHOST.SYS. The entry must be:

DEVICE=MBPHOST.SYS /md000 /s5d /n0 /r2

HIf you intend to start your bridge application at bootup of your PC, edit your AUTOEXEC.BAT file to call GATELOOP.BAT. There are no parameters. Reboot your PC to start the bridge application.

If you intend to start your bridge application from your PC’s command line prompt, reboot your PC to set the changes in AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS. Then start GATELOOP.BAT from the command line. There are no parameters.

HSetup your bridge’s internal configuration as described in section 3.2.
