Ethernet port on Gateway B. Then wire the RS-485 ports for both Gateways separately to
dual serial cards at the host system. See Figure D-6 Dual RS-485 Architecture.

Note
By default, only the active Gateway in a redundant system will respond to Modbus polling
requests. If simultaneous polling is desired, login to the Gateway web interface, navigate
to Setup>Modbus>Communications and set “Respond when running as redundant
standby?” to Yes. Only use this setting in a dual RS-485 architecture.
