Ethernet Modbus device prerequisites

For your meter to operate as an Ethernet Modbus device, you must complete some prerequisite configuration.

Note: You do not need to perform any Modbus-specific configuration for your meter to function as a Modbus client device over Ethernet.

Prerequisite	Description
Ethernet	All devices must have a working Ethernet connection.
IP address	All devices must have a unique IP address.
Port	All devices must be communicating over Ethernet port 502 for Modbus TCP.

Note: Devices supporting multiple simultaneous Modbus TCP connections can have communications delays. Adjust your network timeout settings to accommodate this.
