Introduction This Ethernet+WiFi Modbus gateway (hereunder called as “This Modbus gateway”) provides the ways of connecting serial devices to both Ethernet and Wireless LAN (Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n ). It is designed to operate serial ports through Ethernet (10/100Mbps) and wireless (Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n) over TCP/IP network. As the data is transmitted via TCP/IP protocol, therefore data acquisition and controlling is available to go through Intranet and Internet.
Overview This Modbus gateway p rovides a perfect solution to make your industrial Serial devices connect to Internet instantly via Wireless and Ethernet LAN. This device embedded with MT7688AN MIPS chipset makes it become the ideal device for transmitting the data from your RS-232 or RS-422/485 Serial interface devices, such as PLCs, Meters or Sensors to an IP-based Ethernet and Wi-Fi host, and making it possible for your software to access Serial interface devices anywhere and anytime.
Package Check List 1 unit of Ethernet+WiFi Modbus gateway 1 unit of power supply 12VDC/1A (optional) 1 unit of dipole antenna (2.0dBi) CD containing documentation & utility NOTE: Inform your sales representative if any of the above items missing or damaged.

Outlined Components Antenna Connector The connector for antenna is a standard reverse SMA jack. Simply connect it to a 2.0dBi dipole antenna (Standard Rubber Duck). It is 50 Ohms impedance and can support 2.4GHz frequency. Ethernet Port The connector for network is the usual RJ45. Simply connect it to your network switch or Hub. When the connection is made, the green color LED of Ethernet port will blink.
Wiring Architecture 1. RS-232 2. RS-422/RS-485 When you finish the steps mentioned above and the LED indicators are as shown, the Modbus gateway is installed correctly. You can check the Software Setup CD to find IP Search Utility. To proceed with the parameters setup, please use a web browser (IE or Chrome) to continue the detailed settings.
Configuration When setting up your converter for the first time, the first thing you should do is to configure the IP address. The following topics are covered in this chapter: IP Search Utility Setup Configuration through Web...
IP Search Utility Setup “CvIotFinder Setup.exe” from CD ROM to your host computer. Copy “CvIotFinder” is a self-extract-install program. Double click it to install this Wi-Fi IP Searching tool into host computer. CvIotFinder will pop up on the screen after installation or you may double click the icon on desk top of host computer to open this tool.

2.7 Gateway and DNS: To check with MIS for right IP address. 2.8 Up to now, Setup is successfully configured. Please click “Save” this page before permanent change of configuration.
3. Serial port settings Please correctly input each parameters to match with the remote terminal units. 3.1 Baud Rate 3.2 Parity 3.3 Data Bits 3.4 Stop Bits 3.5 Flow Control 3.6 RxDelay(ms) 3.7 TxDelay(ms) 3.8 When setup is configured. Please click “Save” this page before permanent pages.
4. Serial port over TCP/IP 4.1 There are TCP modes for selection: TCP Server / TCP Client / UDP 4.2 TCP Server: Configure TCP server port number and message time out period. At this mode, this device will wait for client connection. 4.3 TCP Client: Allow to configure 4 remote destination host IP address, port number.
4.4 UDP: Picture as above TCP client mode. Allow to configure 4 remote destination host IP address, port number. At UDP mode, this Device establishes a connection with remote host and sending data to remote host actively. 4.5 When setup is configured. Please click “Save” this page before permanent pages. 4.6 After configued all parameters, click “Save and Restart”...
