This chapter covers the different steps needed to put the M-Bus 810 gateway into
operation.
3.1
Necessary information
The connecting of the supply voltage and the M-Bus loop is made according to table
2.1.
3.1.1
Hardware address
You have to know the unit’s hardware address, which is the same as the MAC
address. The MAC address can be found on the label on one of the gables of the
unit. It has the format 00-20-4a-xx-xx-xx, where xx is a unique number for the
unit.
3.1.2
IP Address
Most of the time the gateway needs a unique IP address on your network in order
to be connected to the superior software. You can also use the automatic IP
address via DHCP if you wish. Contact the system administrator to receive the
right IP address with the belonging subnet mask and gateway. The IP address has
to be within the allowed area, unique within your network, and it has to be in the
same subnet as your PC.
3.1.3
TCP/UDP
To communicate with the superior software you have to choose between TCP or
UDP.
We do not recommend that any of PiiGAB’s products or products bought from
PiiGAB should be made public on the internet. We always recommend that a
firewall is used, not following this recommendation will be at your own risk.
3.1.4
Port number
To communicate with the gateway the port number has to be adjusted. The
default adjustment in the gateway is 10001 and can almost always be used.
Control with the network responsible what port number to use.
