Slave Port 1-4 configuration
Figure 6-9
Slave ports is the part in the gateway that handle connected clients. All slave ports can be
configured to UDP/TCP or Serial communication. For serial configuration RS232, RS485 and
M-Bus Slave can be chosen.

Type UDP or TCP
Basic settings for the slave ports UDP/TCP communication as seen as below:

The network port that the external client can connect to.
6.3.1.2
Timeout (ms)
The parameter timeout is always set to 2000 ms and can be changed freely. This parameter
controls how long the slave port should wait for an answer from the Master Port. The Slave
timeout should always be higher than the master timeout. For MBusHub version 2.01.01 and
higher it is automatically set to master t 100ms in case it is set to a lower value.
6.3.1.3
Protocol
The slave protocols you can currently choose between are M-Bus, M-Bus ASCII, Modbus RTU
and Modbus TCP. Available protocols are controlled by the license key.
