Setup of Modbus Gateway Addon

Once powered on, the Addon will either request an IP address via DHCP or use the static IP configured via the user-interface.

When connected to a NODA Modbus Gateway, the Addon device will be assigned the IP 192.168.1.100.

Access the user-interface by entering the following in a web-browser; http://192.168.1.100.

It's is highly recommended to access this page in "incognito" or "private window" to avoid issues with password caching.

The username is admin.

The password is unique for each device and can be requested from NODA.
