As we know E-Lins all series routers now can support Modbus; but how can we enable and config this feature in Web GUI? The below is a brief guide about this feature. You can config as the below steps one by one.

First of all, access the web gui of E-Lins router, then do as below guide step by step.

1.     Config Modbus on router. Open page ServicesàModbus.

Note: if we want to access modbus server from WAN or cell port, then it requires to config firewall to open TCP port.

2.     Connect terminal blocks pin TX, RX, GND to DB9, then connect to PC serial port.

3.     Open Modbus Slave on PC which connect to router terminal blocks.
