MODBUS-GW Installation and Operation Manual — P/N LS10015-000NF-E:C2 4/30/2019 43
Appendix A Gateway Settings
A.1 Viewing Existing IP Settings
1. Connect the flash drive to the MODBUS-GW.
2. Reboot the gateway.
A file is created that matches the configured IP address of the gateway, followed by the extension “.txt” (e.g., 192.168.1.2.txt).
If the file already exists on the drive, it will be altered to match the gateway configuration. The file contains additional
information such as the MAC address of the gateway.
3. Connect the drive to a PC and view the files.
The flash drive should contain a file that matches the configured IP address of the gateway, followed by the extension “.txt”
(e.g., 192.168.1.2.txt). If the file already exists on the drive, it has been altered to match the gateway configuration. The file
contains additional information such as the MAC address of the gateway.
A.2 Resetting Factory Default Values
1. Connect the flash drive to a PC and create a file named “default.ldc”. The contents of the file is not significant; however,
ensure that the file does not have an additional hidden file extension. This file will be automatically deleted from the flash
drive by the gateway.
2. Eject the flash drive from the PC.
3. Disconnect power from the gateway.
4. Disconnect the communication cable to the gateway USB port (if present) and connect the flash drive.
5. Reconnect the 24 VDC power supply to the gateway.
6. After approximately one minute, disconnect the flash drive from the USB port and (if necessary) reconnect the cable removed
in Step 4.
7. Connect the flash drive to the PC and verify that the file named 192.168.1.2.txt is on the drive.
• If the file is on the flash drive, the reset has been accomplished.
• If the file is not on the flash drive:
– The flash drive may not have been connected during the reboot period or was removed early.
– The flash drive is not seen as a valid drive by the hardware.
– A software error has occurred and technical support may need to be contacted.
NOTE: The procedures in this appendix require the use of a USB flash memory drive.
