Configuring Modbus/BSAP
Rev 3.0B Feb.08 63
Addresses can be entered in decimal or hex. AceManager will
translate hex entries into decimal. The number before the “=” is
ID, the number after is the IP address. There can be a total of
100 remote ID/Local addresses entered into the modem.
When using AT commands via telnet or direct serial
connection, use ATMLIST for decimal IDs and ATMLISTX for
hexidecimal. For example, if the ID is 27 and the IP is
123.123.123.124, you would enter it as
ATMLIST27=123.123.123.124 or ATMLISTX1B=123.123.123.124.
4. Optional: Dynamic IP Address
If you do not have a static IP, the host modem should be
configured to report its current IP to a Dynamic DNS (DDNS)
server with IP Manager.
In the Host modem’s configuration, instead of IP address for
the Addr List (ATMLIST or ATMLISTX), substitute a single
unique name for each modem, i.e. remote1, remote2, etc.
When you configure IP Manager for the host modem, make
note of your modem name and domain setting in AceManager
in the menu selection Dynamic IP to be used with the remote
modems.
Figure 8-4: AceManager: Dynamic IP
With names instead of IP addresses for the Address List, the
host modem will query the DNS server for the current IP
address assigned to the specific name of a remote modem to
send a message corresponding to the ID.
When you use names instead of IP addresses, to ensure your
modems are updated quickly with the correct IP addresses for
the names, you will want to set the DNS settings as well. In
AceManager, select DNS.
