Diagnostics > Remote Support and check whether the DEXGate2 is connected
to our VPN
2.
If not, click Connect

Modbus configuration: Connect the meters to DEXGate2 using the supplied adapter (DB15
Terminal block).
Each meter works in a particular way, so we strongly recommend reading the meter user
manual.
The meter configuration can be done from the web management interface in DEXGate2.
To connect Modbus meters via RS485, you must use terminals A (+), B (-) and S (shield).

Connect and configure the meters
Read the full manual for detailed information about installing the most common meters and
how to set the DEXGate2 to recognize them.
For modbus devices, indicate the BUS speed and the meters’ Modbus addresses from the
menu “Modbus configuration” at DEXGate2.
You must also specify the “Gateway token” (if you have not done so before).
