Default Settings

The LaMarche Communications Card is shipped with the following default settings;

Port: RS232
Baud Rate: 9600
Data Bits: 8
Stop Bits: 1
Parity: None

Board Configuration

The communications card may be configured for RS232, RS485 or TCP communications.

SW2 configures the board for either Serial or TCP/IP communications.
SW4 configures the board for either RS232 or RS485 communications.
SW3 configures the BIAS and Termination Resistor(s) when using RS485.

The photo below shows the location of the dipswitches of the communications board.

Setting the Modbus Address, Baud Rate & Parity

To change the Address, Baud Rate and Parity you need to enter the customer calibration mode where
you can choose the following;

Modbus Type: Serial or TCP
Modbus Address: 1 through 247
Modbus Baud Rate (Serial Only): 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, 38400
Modbus Parity Type (Serial Only): NONE, ODD, EVEN
Read Only Mode: This mode does not allow any settings to be modified remotely.

RS232 & RS485 Serial Applications

To configure the card for Serial applications you need to configure the board’s dipswitches and set the
Address, Baud Rate and Parity as required in the customer calibration mode.

TCP/IP Applications

To configure the card for TCP/IP applications you need to configure the boards dipswitches and confirm
the Address = 1, Baud Rate = 9600 and Parity = NONE in the customer calibration mode.

You will also likely want to change the IP, Subnet and Gateway. To accomplish this please refer to the
next section.

Changing the TCPIP Settings

The RTU to TCP/IP module is set at the factory as follows:

IP Address: 192.168.0.6
Netmask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.0.1
TCP Port Number: 502

To change the TCPIP settings it is necessary to load and install the DeviceInstaller Software provided by
Lantronix Inc. from the following URL:

http://www.lantronix.com/device-networking/utilities-tools/device-installer.html

Once this software is installed you should reconfigure your Network Adaptor to the same subnet (see
default settings above) as the Lantronix device. Connect the device to your laptop/PC using a null­modem for a direct connection. Use a straight through if connecting through a switch or hub. If the
device is powered when you run the DeviceInstaller it will automatically begin a search and find the
device. If DeviceInstaller is running when the device is connected the Search command on the Toolbar
Menu will locate the device. Once the device is located, the screen should appear as pictured below.

To assign the desire IP settings press the Assign IP button on the Toolbar. This will bring up the
following screen:

The Device Identification is located on the device itself as described in the dialog text above. An example
of the Lantronix device is pictured below.

In the example above the Device Identification would be 00-20-4A-C4-DF-E8. Note this is unique to each
device. After entering the ID press Next.

This dialog presents a choice between assigning an IP dynamically which would allow the device to
operate on a network with a DHCP server however it is recommended that a specific IP address be
assigned so it can be referenced directly on a SCADA Network.

Selecting “Assign a specific IP address” will bring up the following dialog:

Enter your desired IP settings and press Next.

Pressing Assign will start the process of programming the device to the new IP Settings.

A progress bar and Status will appear indicating a successful operation as shown below:

Pressing Finish will complete the IP setting change process. The DeviceInstaller Application can now be
closed.
