This port will not be used.
B.4.2 CS I/O Service Port
This setting is used when the CS I/O Configuration is set to Serial Server or MODBUS/TCP
gateway. To communicate with a TCP/IP server, the client application must open a socket to that
server. The socket of a specific server is uniquely identified by an IP address of the host where the
server is running and a port number associated with the server application on that host. This
entry is where the port number of the serial server is set. Typically, it is not necessary to change
this entry from its default (range 1 to 65535).
B.4.3 SDC Address
Communications with the data logger via the CS I/O port is done using SDC (Synchronous
Device Communications). The data logger will address the devices with which it wishes to
communicate using an SDC address. The CS I/O port can be configured to respond to SDC
address 7, 8, 10, or 11.
B.4.4 CS I/O TCP Timeout
This setting, in units of seconds, will determine how fast the CS I/O serial server will time out if no
activity is detected. Set to 0 for no time-out (not recommended) (range 0 to 999).
B.4.5 CS I/O PakBus Beacon Interval
This setting, in units of seconds, governs the rate at which the NL241 will broadcast PakBus
messages on the CS I/O port in order to discover any new PakBus neighboring nodes. It will also
govern the default verification interval if the value of the CS I/O Verify Interval setting is set to 0.
B.4.6 CS I/O PakBus Verify Interval
This setting specifies the interval, in units of seconds, that will be reported as the link verification
interval in the PakBus hello-transaction messages. It will indirectly govern the rate at which the
NL241 will attempt to start a hello transaction with a neighbor if no other communications has
taken place within the interval.
B.4.7 CS I/O Modbus Timeout
This setting determines how long, in milliseconds, the MODBUS/TCP to MODBUS/RTU gateway
will wait for an answer from the MODBUS slave device(s) attached to the CS I/O port. If no
