Configuration and Setup

4.1.3 Advanced Network Tab

Note: These settings are not used for most installations.
Modbus Enabled
The X-317 can support Modbus/TCP. Modbus is a messaging structure protocol used in industrial
manufacturing control and automation. It is an open protocol and offers interoperability with software
and devices from other manufacturers. This is enabled by selecting Yes in this field. The default
setting for this field is No. (See 5.3 Modbus Operation for more information on using the X-317 on
a Modbus network.)
Note: Modbus communications are disabled whenever the Control Password is enabled.
Modbus Port
This specifies the port used for Modbus/TCP communications with the X-317. By default this is set to
port 502 which is the standard Modbus port. It can be set within the range of 0 to 65535.
Remote Services Enabled
This option enables or disables Remote Services. If Yes is selected, Remote Services will be
enabled as soon as the submit button is pressed and the X-317 will immediately attempt to make a
connection with the remote server (power cycle not required). Once a connection is established, the
connection will remain until it is disconnected by the remote server. The default setting for this field is
No. Most users should leave this setting at its default. (See Remote Services at the end of this
section for more information.)
