Adjust MODBUS Settings

Modbus ID - Edit the MODBUS address of the ReadyEdge (default = 1)
Modbus/TCP port - Change the network port for ReadyEdge MODBUS TCP/IP communication (default port = 502)
Bridge Ethernet Modbus/TCP requests to EIA-485 - Switch ON to enable Modbus bridging. When enabled, MODBUS TCP requests received via Ethernet that are NOT addressed to the ReadyEdge ID (default ID = 1) or its connected products will be “bridged” or transmitted serially onto the EIA-485 network to other MODBUS devices. If a device on the EIA-485 network has the correct ID and responds to the message, the ReadyEdge will “bridge” the response from that device back to the Ethernet network with a properly formed MODBUS TCP response message.

Modify Time Servers
If the ReadyEdge is connected to the Internet, it has the ability to periodically synchronize time and date from a time server. There are three pre-populated, public NTP servers, which users can modify as necessary. The ReadyEdge will attempt to connect to Timer Server 1 first to obtain current time and date. If connection fails, it will attempt to connect to Timer Server 2, and so forth.
To enable the use of these time servers, select the “Use Time Servers” option for Date/Time Source under the Date & Time tab.
