Please note that the number of added convertors is not limited by the FLOW 
device.  Single  FLOW  device  can  communicate  with  multiple  convertors  at 
once. 

 

Next it is necessary to set up the communication with the convertor. The convertor's 
setup procedure is, to some extent, described in the 

firmware user manual

. Basically 

you need to set up access to the convertor's web management interface, then set up 
the corresponding IP addresses and ports: 

 

Serial forward IP address

 - The IP address of the embedded unit. 

 

Serial forward UDP port

 - The port where you want the embedded unit to receive 

SDLC communication. 

 

Syslog IP address

 - The IP address of the device that system log will be sent to 

(probably the embedded unit). 

 

Syslog port

 - The port where the log messages will be sent to. 

 

Command IP address

 - The IP address of the embedded unit. The convertor will 

discard

 all messages coming from a different IP address. 

 

Command UDP port

 - The port where the embedded unit will send commands for 

the converter and receive responses from.
