5 Device Configuration

5.1 Before Configuring the Device

To avoid IP address conflicts and to ensure successful deployment, connect the device directly to a PC or laptop to configure the
IP address, before connecting to the network.
The error LED flashes whenever the device is receiving power but is not connected to a network. The error LED will flash occa-
sionally during the configuration process.

5.2 Configuration Methods

Ethernet attributes can be configured directly in the device using the on-board web server.
• The module is configured with a static IP address as default. A new address can be assigned during configuration, or the device
can be configured to accept a dynamic IP address (via DHCP).
• The web server can configure the IP address and messaging settings for MQTT or OPC UA operation.
• If it is not possible to connect to the web server, use the Ethernet Device Configuration software to scan the network and identi-
fy the device.

5.3 On-board Web Server

5.3.1 Connect to the Device

To configure settings using the on-board web server, the device must be installed in a soft starter, control power must be available,
and the device and computer must both be connected to the Ethernet network.
The computer must use a fixed IP address (not DHCP) and the same subnet mask as the device. The default IP address for a new
Modbus TCP Module is 192.168.1.2. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Once connected, the web server reports basic information about the device and the soft starter.
