Configuration by the Web Page
Modbus TCP/RTU M-bus Gateways (G20, G30)
This page presents capabilities of the Converters configuration. First, make sure that the converter is connected to the power supply and to the LAN using a patchcord or wireless via Wi-Fi. 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 the 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).
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.
Changing username or password
After clicking “Edit User” under the user icon, it is possible to change the username or the password.
If login details were forgotten, it would be necessary to do a factory reset via a USB/UART converter and a serial console.

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 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.

About |
Basic information about the device. |
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.
Use the modbus-mbus-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. After reset, use default login details (login: admin, password: admin123; default IP: 192.168.100.100).
