15. On the

Advanced TCP/IP Settings General

tab, clear the field in the PPP link “Use IP header compression.”

Configuration is now complete.

16. Click the newly created link to establish a connection to 945U-E.

17. Ensure that the username and the password are entered exactly as configured in 945U-E.

When booted in SETUP mode, the PPP server has the username “user” and password “user.”

Serial Gateway (Server/Client/Multicast)

Serial gateway functionality is available for both RS-232 and RS-485 ports independently, and enables serial data
to be routed via the wired or wireless network connection. Serial gateway functionality is similar to radio modem
functionality, allowing point-to-point and multipoint serial data transfer.

The serial gateway can be configured as either server, client, multicast group, or Modbus.

•

Server

—When configured as server, the module will wait for a TCP connection to be initiated by a remote

client.

•

Client

—When configured as client, the module will automatically attempt to connect to a specified remote

server using TCP.

•

Multicast Group

—When configured as multicast group, the module will broadcast data to all members of the

same multicast group using UDP.

With the serial gateway server, client, and multicast functions, it is possible for serial data from a 945U-E to be
transferred to any other 945U-E serial ports including the corresponding port on the same 945U-E.

Serial Gateway (Modbus–Modbus RTU to TCP)

When configured as Modbus, the module will allow a serial Modbus RTU client (master) to connect with a single
Ethernet Modbus TCP server (slave). With the Modbus function, the serial data is encapsulated within a TCP/IP
data frame and made available on the Ethernet network. Both 945U-E serial ports and the hard wired Ethernet port
can be configured to communicate completely separate data streams that can all be communicating at the same
time.

Some of the possible serial gateway topologies are shown in Figure 35.
