After programming the IP address into the DeviceMaster Industrial Gateway, you are ready to upload or update the DeviceMaster Industrial Gateway with the Modbus Server firmware.

The DeviceMaster Industrial Gateway family includes DeviceMaster UP and DeviceMaster MOD models.

Depending on the model you purchased, it may or may not have Modbus Server loaded. The DeviceMaster UP may contain SocketServer, the default application from the factory. Models that have a protocol loaded on the DeviceMaster UP are identified in PortVision DX and the DeviceMaster UP is labeled accordingly.

DeviceMaster MOD models are loaded with Modbus Router by default, unless special-ordered with Modbus Server.

Note

Use PortVision DX to upload the DeviceMaster firmware files or optionally, the Firmware Uploader Utility for Linux.

There are two versions of PortVision DX. Older hardware with older firmware versions are typically served better using v3.05 and newer hardware with newer firmware versions require the latest version of PortVision DX.
