Gateway
1. Introduction
Lynx Gateway is a Serial to Ethernet Protocol Converter providing communication between
Modbus RTU/ASCII Serial devices & Modbus TCP network devices. It supports various
operating modes & can act as Master or Slave. It supports RS 232, RS 422 and RS 485 &
one Ethernet port providing 10/100Mbps through a standard Ethernet connector. Ethernet
side can be configured either as Client or Server.
It intelligently converts the data between Modbus TCP (Ethernet) and Modbus RTU/ASCII
(serial) devices. By enabling Background communication option it is possible to speed up
the data flow at Serial/Ethernet side thus providing seamless integration of Ethernet and
Serial Modbus devices. It can be configured via web-interface or by Lynx gateway utility. It
also provides remote firmware upgradation.
