Appendix C. Using the RV50(X)
Ethernet port
The RV50(X) Ethernet port can be used to communicate with IP-enabled devices such as data
loggers and IP cameras. However, the use of Ethernet communication increases the total system
current demand (the module and the device you are connecting to) by several milliamps as
compared to the use of serial communications.
The following example can be used to communicate with a CR1000 / NL121 via the RV50(X)
Ethernet port. Port forwarding in the RV50(X) must be enabled and specific ports need to be
forwarded to the CR1000 (in this case ports 80 and 6785). Additional ports can be configured as
needed. The host IP address 192.168.13.50 specified in the figure below is the IP address of the
CR1000.
