To make changes to your Industrial Network configuration, either connect to or work off-line with the desired RTU. Select Devices from the Configuration menu.
In the tabbed dialog box labeled "Device Settings" select the Protocol Port tab:
Protocol – Allows you to choose either Modbus or Ethernet. If Modbus is chosen then proceed to configure the other settings on the page starting with setting up Baud Rate and following the remaining steps as described here. If instead you have an Ethernet RACO device, when choosing Ethernet, the following screen appears and you must configure the network using an external tool as shown in this image:
Run the RACO IPConfig application by selecting the “Ethernet Configuration” Button
The RACO IPConfig tool runs independently of Alarmware and search the network to find the RACO Autodialers that are present in the network. (To note: The RACO IPConfig program can be downloaded at racoman.com website. Start the program and the main window will be opened
The program scans the network for RACO Gateway Ethernet modules. The settings can be configured manually or the DHCP function can be used. For the RACO Gateway Ethernet modules DHCP is activated by default. To change the settings manually, double click on the desired module and enter the desired IP-settings as seen below.
Note: The RACO IPConfig tool is able to locate all the RACO Ethernet Autodialers in the network. There is no need to have the Autodialers in the same subnet to be discovered.
