Configure a serial-connected slave: generic procedure

Use this procedure when a protocol slave is connected to the serial port of the device server. Use it except when the associated master requires COM port redirection. (See "Set Up COM Port Redirection" on page 76 for information.)

  1. Access the web interface by entering the device server IP address in a browser’s URL window.
  2. Log in to the web interface.
  3. Click Setup Wizards > Industrial Protocols.
  4. Choose the serial port protocol required by the slave that is connected to the serial port.
  5. Choose Slave as the device type.

    Any number of network masters can communicate with the slave.
