If a DHCP server is not found on the network, the Modbus gateway automatically configures to an 
IP address in the range of 169.254.0.0 through 169.254.255.255 and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0 
MESR9xx Modbus gateways come from the factory with DHCP enabled. 
 
Firmware Version 
The  Firmware Version number (Vx.x.x) indicates the Modbus gateway's currently 
loaded firmware release. From time to time new firmware is made available and can be 
uploaded into the Modbus gateway using Vlinx Manager.  
 
Hardware Version 
The  Hardware Version number of the Modbus gateway hardware is displayed on the 
Login page of Vlinx Manager.  
 
ID Routing 
ID routing allows the gateway to manage slave device IDs between various Modbus 
interfaces. By filling in the user defined slave ID table, a Modbus Gateway routes 
requests to the correct serial port. One connection can command serial slaves on multiple 
serial ports. 
By filling in the drop down menu of ports with slave devices attached, adding  IP 
addresses of slaves,  up to 10 address ranges can be routed. 
By default all boxes are unchecked, the drop down menu is set to serial port one, and all 
fill in boxes are blank. 
 
IP Address 
Software or hardware attempting to access the Modbus gateway via the network must 
know the IP Address of the server. If DHCP is selected, the Modbus gateway requests 
and receives a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server when it first connects to the 
network. If DHCP is not selected you must type in a static IP address when configuring 
Network settings (on the Vlinx Manager Network page). The static IP address remains 
the same each time the server is powered up or starts/restarts.
