Overview
The Mport3101R is a serial data over IP device which provides data transmission between Ethernet and serial port (RS-232/RS-485). It converts serial devices in the field of industrial automation to the communication format of the Ethernet network, so that RS-232/RS-485 devices that were previously unable to access the Internet can be easily and flexibly linked to the network.
These may be used in pairs to establish a physical serial across an Ethernet IP network, and they may also be used with virtual COM port drivers to provide remote RS232/485 ports for computer systems.
When used in a Modbus environment, they will act as a gateway between Modbus RTU/Ascii and Modbus TCP. A pre-fetch feature can be enabled to dramatically improve network performance.
This series of products is based on the powerful 32-bit ARM Cortex-M7 main control CPU.
Technical Notes
Modbus Notes
Modbus TCP / RTU integration
Since its inception in 1979 Modbus has become a widely used communication protocol in the field of industrial automation. Originally based on serial interfaces (RS232 and RS485) Modbus RTU enjoys widespread use throughout many different industries. Since then Ethernet has become the network of choice and many industrial devices now have native Ethernet interfaces.

Quick Start Guides
Mport - Quickest way to connect 2 serial devices over Ethernet
The Mport range of serial devices servers have a mode of operation that allows very quick provisioning of 2 units to create a serial tunnel over an Ethernet network.
This 'Pair Connection Mode' is easy to setup.
On one Mport configure its mode of operation to be 'Pair Connection Master'
