8.2 Select Field Protocol and Set Configuration Parameters

• On the Web Configurator page, the first configuration parameter is the Protocol Selector.

• Select the field protocol by entering the appropriate number into the Protocol Selector Value. Click

the Submit button. Click the System Restart button to save the updated configuration.

NOTE: Protocol specific parameters are only visible when the associated protocol is selected.

NOTE: If Modbus TCP/IP was selected and is used for the field protocol, skip Section 8.3. Device

profiles are NOT used for Modbus TCP/IP.

• Ensure that all parameters are entered for successful operation of the gateway. Find the legal value

options for each parameter under the Parameter Description in parentheses.
