I want DHCP is preselected to set up the network using
dynamic IP addressing. The Modbus Gateway is set up at
the factory to receive an IP assignment from a DHCP
Server. If a DHCP Server is not available on your network, it
will default to 169.254.102.39.
If a DHCP server is not available and the default address
does not work on your PC, change your PC network
settings to IP Address: 169.254.102.1, Subnet Mask:
255.255.0.0, Default Gateway: 169.254.102.100. If you are
not able to use these settings in your installation, refer to
the user’s manual for directions to change the Modbus
Gateway’s TCP/IP settings.

Modbus TCP Settings:
Connect to Port identifies TCP port used in TCP client
mode. Valid range is 1 to 65535.
Response timeout is the maximum response time. Valid
range is from 1 to 65535.
TCP Server Settings:
Listen on port identifies TCP port in TCP server mode.
Valid range is from 1 to 65535.
Limit the number of connections…Controls the number of
simultaneous TCP clients that can be connected.
