This manual is intended to guide you through the setup and configuration of your
ProLinx Wireless MNET Client and Server devices.
Important:
This Setup Guide shows you how to set up a simple Modbus
TCP/IP wireless network between a ProLinx Wireless MNET Client and a
ProLinx Wireless MNET Server. This guide should be used as a starting point
only.
In all likelihood, the requirements of your particular application will involve
additional configuration and development. For detailed information on the
MNET Client, MNET Server and ProLinx Wireless protocols, please refer to
the following Driver Manuals, on your ProSoft Solutions CD-ROM:

For general information on installing and configuring
ProLinx modules, please refer to the ProLinx
Reference Guide, also on your ProSoft Solutions
CD-ROM.
1.1
Before You Begin
The insert included with your modules describes a
sample SINGLE-REMOTE SITE SAMPLE application.
It is important that you read through the insert and
perform any required steps.
Setting up the MNET network is relatively simple using
the sample files included on the ProLinx Solutions CD.
The flow diagram illustrates the high-level steps used
to configure each module.
The default configuration file contains separate
configurations for each module. You can use the
sample files to get started or you can create the
configuration files from scratch. The easiest way to
begin is to use the sample configurations. Once you
understand how they are created, setting up your network is easy.
