Configuring a Serial-Connected Master: Other IA Protocol

When to Use

Procedure

66
Use this procedure when the device connected to the serial port is a
master that is using a "non-supported" serial-port protocol, that is, the serial
port protocol is not Modbus ASCII, Modbus RTU, DF1 Half-Duplex, DF1
Full-Duplex, FINS, Hostlink, CompoWay/F, or a protocol that meets the
definition of a "user-defined" protocol.
1. Access the web interface by entering the device server IP address in a
browser's URL window.
2. Log in to the device server as root. The default password is dbps.
