5.1 Bridge

After logging in, you access the configuration menu. The first screen, the

one shown in the figure below, allows you to choose the working mode

of the Bridge.

The options are:

•

Ethernet – serial: MDB-E acts as a converter between the Ethernet

channel and both serial channels simultaneously. This means that devices

on RS485 or a device on RS232 can be connected indiscriminately. Not

at the same time.

•

Radio - Ethernet, serial: In this configuration, the radio communication

module is activated if present. It is necessary to have a pair of devices

to ensure that they transmit the received packets to each other. The

device equipped with the radio module is identified as NetLink.

•

Serial-Serial: In this mode the protocol conversion is performed

between the RS232 communication channel and the RS485 channel.
