Overview
Modbus/TCP Installation Overview
The DeviceMaster UP follows these installation steps.
Note: The BLUE CAPITALIZED links jump to external documents, which work while viewing from the ftp site or
from the CD.
1. C ONNECT THE D EVICE M ASTER UP to the network.
2. I NSTALL P ORT V ISION DX from the CD or download and install the latest version.
3. C ONFIGURE THE D EVICE M ASTER UP network settings using PortVision DX.
4. Depending on the DeviceMaster UP model, do the following:
• Models without Modbus/TCP loaded, you must install the software assembly (.msi) from the CD or
download and install the latest file, which contains the Modbus/TCP firmware and supporting files
required for Step 5.
• Models with Modbus/TCP loaded on the DeviceMaster UP, you should check to see if a later version of
Modbus/TCP is available for installation. Check the Modbus/TCP version in PortVision DX against the
web site to see if a later version is available. Typically, you should download and install the latest .msi
file and upload the latest version, which may include updates or enhancements.
Note: Models that have Modbus/TCP loaded on the DeviceMaster UP are identified in PortVision DX and
