# Modbus Ethernet Gateways
# Data Sheet
## Modbus Ethernet Gateways (G01 - G03 & G14 - G16)
Modbus gateways allow data transmission between LAN hosts and serial devices by converting Modbus protocols (Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII). They are intended to be used in industrial networks especially in the field of Industry 4.0 but not only. Apart from extending the capabilities of industrial devices, they can be also adapted up to user’s requirements and needs.
Transmission is carried out by two modes: Gateway and Router. In the Gateway mode the port is used to communicate with Slave devices, but in the Router mode with Master devices. It is also possible to set up different modes on every port. Block diagrams below describe how each of these modes works.

### Introduction
Devices are based on G01 - G03 gateways (**ESP32 Xtensa LX6 microcontroller**) and G14 - G16 gateways (**STM32F4 microcontroller**) depending on needed ports and interfaces.
Dedicated EMC integrated circuits guarantee improved connection quality by limiting the impact of interference typical for an industrial environment.

#### Configuration by the Serial Console
The device has the ability to be reconfigured via a serial console. In case of the G01 - G03 Modbus gateways an additional USB/UART converter is needed.
##### Procedure to enter serial console mode on G01 - G03
- Turn off the power of the device.
- Connect Ethernet converter to the dedicated USB/UART converter via the microUSB port.
- Connect the USB/UART converter to the PC.
- Open the serial console (default baud rate is 115200 bps).
- Press and hold the S1 button.
- Turn on the power.
- Wait until the ST indicator (orange LED) lights up (it should light up after red light - service mode).
- Release the S1 button.
- Login using user’s personal credentials or default login details.
- If the process is successful, configuration command can be typed into the terminal.
##### Procedure to enter serial console mode on G14 - G16
- Install STM32 Virtual COM Port Driver.
- Turn off the power of the device.
- Connect Ethernet converter directly to the PC (the dedicated USB/UART converter is not obligatory).
- Open the serial console (default baud rate is 115200 bps).
- Press and hold the S1 button.
- Turn on the power.
- Wait until the ST indicator (yellow LED) lights up.
- Release the S1 button.
- Login using user’s personal credentials or default login details.
- If the process is successful, configuration command can be typed into the terminal.
Once this is done, log in using the default username and password, then change the network settings using "ipconfig" command.

{{@175#bkmrk-g01-g02-g03-g14-g15-}}
In the G03 gateway user should use only RS232 or only RS485 interface of one port as they occupy the same internal bus of the device.
# Configuration by the Web Page
## {{@178#bkmrk-modbus-ethernet-gate}}
This page presents capabilities of the Ethernet Converters configuration. First of all, make sure that converter is connected to power supply and to the LAN using a patch cord. If the device has no static IP set up, it will be necessary to obtain its IP address in the local network. User interface is mostly similar for all gateways but some subpages might be different for several models depending on amount of interfaces. In order to avoid issues, click on a “Help” button in the top right corner on every page.
### Login
To access the web page open the browser, type device’s IP address of the converter (default is **192.168.100.100**). Then log in using user’s personal credentials. If it is a first configuration or the converter had a factory reset, use default login details (login: **admin**, password: **admin123**).
[](https://doc.redisage.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/0ebd9613-722b-4a01-8258-91252cc88f74.png)
The configuration is available only if devices are connected to the same Local Area Network as the computer used for it.
### Status page
After a successful login, there should be an insight to a list of available connections. If there is more than one connection, it is possible to sort them by ID, timestamp or status.
[](https://doc.redisage.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/4f6ed827-ab6f-4372-8bef-95d723d573c8.png)
#### Changing username or password
After clicking “Edit User” under the user icon, it is possible to change the username or the password.

[](https://doc.redisage.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/08cea4a8-e1e1-4241-a0ea-bf987363d2b7.png)
If login details were forgotten, it would be necessary to do a factory reset via a USB/UART converter and a serial console.
### Ports configuration

{{@175#bkmrk-item-description-int}}
Make sure to save all the changes with “Save and Apply” button located on the bottom of the page.
In the UDP mode, port number 15051 is reserved for UDP broadcast service.
### Network settings
In this section, network settings can be changed according to target LAN parameters.
[](https://doc.redisage.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/8e071700-7429-42f3-83cb-c0560cc74c97.png)
{{@175#bkmrk-item-description-hos}}
It is possible to obtain dynamic IP address. Just switch configuration method from static IP to DHCP (automatic). This process may cause some issues with identifying converters in LAN unless there is an access to the device which is responsible for allocating IP addresses.
Keep in mind that in case of changed IP address user needs to type new IP in the address bar and log in again.
Make sure to save all the changes with “Save and Apply” button located on the bottom of the page.
### Device page
On the device page there are tools used to a firmware update, a factory reset and a device reboot. There are also some information about the device.
[](https://doc.redisage.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/77484e83-92eb-4f19-88ac-dba66e7d1ed0.png)
{{@175#bkmrk-item-description-fir}}
#### Firmware update
The device firmware update must not be interrupted. Update the device only if experiencing issues, being instructed to do so by our support or requiring the latest features/bugfixes. Failure during the update may 'brick' the device and make it unusable.
[](https://doc.redisage.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/5369e3ad-8ca3-4694-a9a3-59f5ee54b294.png)
Use the **modbus-gateway-mcu-esp32.fir** file for a firmware update.
#### Factory reset
To restore default settings, press the red button. After that, user will be asked to type “RESET”. Then it will take a few seconds to reload the web page and restart the device.

# Configuration by the Telnet Console
## {{@178#bkmrk-modbus-ethernet-gate}}
The device can be also configured via the Telnet Console. Firstly, make sure that converter is connected to the power supply and to the LAN using a patch cord. Knowledge of the device’s IP address (default is **192.168.100.100**) and Telnet port number (default is **23**) is necessary to establish a connection.
Use command below in a terminal window to connect to the device:
```bash
telnet
```
If the connection is successful there will be login prompt visible. Login using user's personal credentials or the default login details (login: **admin**, password: **admin123**). If login is successful, it will be possible to start typing configuration commands.
[](https://doc.redisage.com/uploads/images/gallery/2024-03/0e6873d5-31dd-4050-9c0b-e87fcaa271e4.png)
The configuration is available only if devices are connected to the same Local Area Network as the computer used for it.

### Additional notes
After some time of inactivity, session will be disconnected automatically.
In order to avoid issues like connecting to host, type “help” to get more information.
To get more details about every particular command, append “help” after each commands (example: "ipconfig help").
Factory reset is not available from the Telnet Console level.
# Configuration by the Serial Console
## {{@178#bkmrk-modbus-ethernet-gate}}
Another way to configure the device is via a serial console. In case of the G01 - G03 Modbus gateways an additional USB/UART converter is needed.

# Introduction
## Modbus Ethernet Gateways (G01 - G03 & G14 - G16)
Modbus gateways allow data transmission between LAN hosts and serial devices by converting Modbus protocols (Modbus TCP and Modbus RTU/ASCII). They are intended to be used in industrial networks especially in the field of Industry 4.0 but not only. Apart from extending the capabilities of industrial devices, they can be also adapted up to user’s requirements and needs.
Transmission is carried out by two modes: Gateway and Router. In the Gateway mode the port is used to communicate with Slave devices, but in the Router mode with Master devices. It is also possible to set up different modes on every port. Block diagrams below describe how each of these modes works.
