Protocol
Synopsis: { ModbusServer, ModbusClient, DNP, WIN, TIN, MicroLok }
Default: ModbusServer
The serial protocol supported on this serial port.
Address
Synopsis: Any 31 characters
Default:
The complete address of a device, which might be either local to the RuggedCom device
or remote.
A local address is one associated with a device connected to a serial port on this device.
The corresponding serial port must be configured to match this address specification.
A remote address is the address of a device connected to a serial port on a remote host
over an IP network. In this case, "Remote Ip Addr" must also be configured.
The format and range of this address field is determined by the protocol:
• Modbus: 1 to 244
• MicroLok: 1 to 65535, or 8 to hexadecimal digits ‘1’ to ‘a’
• DNP 3.0: 1 to 65520
• WIN: 6 bits address (0 to 63)
• TIN: String 'wdr' for wayside data radio (TIN mode 2), or a 32 bit address (8 digits,
expressed in hexadecimal digits '0' through 'f'). An all-zero address is not allowed.
Remote IP Addr
Synopsis: ###.###.###.### where ### ranges from 0 to 255
Default:
The IP address of a remote host where a device with a configured remote address is
connected.
Port
Synopsis: 1 to maximum port number or {Unknown}
Default: Unknown
The serial port to which a device is attached. If the device with this address is attached to
the serial port of a remote host, the value of this parameter is 'Unknown'.
Name
Synopsis: Any 16 characters
Default:
The addressed device name.

This table provides the ability to view the TIN protocol’s device addresses from remote
locations that were learned dynamically.
