Overview
The Connectivity Module brings together several
different serial devices that communicate at different
baud rates and with different protocols to a common
Ethernet media. It can communicate with up to eight
clients, such as Web applications (web pages), Vpi, or
third-party Modbus
® devices simultaneously over
Ethernet media.

How to View Pages from a Connectivity
Module after it is installed
After installation, testing, and configuration is completed
(see Section 1) to view pages on a client computer,
follow these steps:
1. Be sure that your computer is connected to the
Internet.
2. Start Microsoft Internet Explorer browser on the
computer.
3. In the address bar, type in the address of the
Connectivity Module:
http://169.254.1.1
The Connectivity Module sends HTML files to the client
computer. Internet Explorer interprets these HTML
files, formats them, and displays the pages to the user.
Pages 2-3, 3-3, 4-2, 5-2, 5-3 shows typical HTML pages
(Detail screens).
Tip

You can add the address to your Favorites for
convenient access to multiple Connectivity
Modules; follow these steps:
1. Click Favorites, then click Add to Favorites,
click New Folder, then type the Folder name
(ATSs, for example), and click OK.
2. To rename the address, highlight it, and type the
new name, and click OK.
3. When you are finished viewing pages, close
