Serial Settings: Serial Portx - Flexitron Webdyn MTX-StarEnergy-M Software User Manual

Table of Contents

• Outgoing Connections: allows you to specify if from the MTX-StarEnergy-M it is possible to give

Internet access to all IP addresses or only to authorized IP addresses

ADDITIONAL NOTES

• Once the configuration is finished, press the "SAVE CONFIG" button to save the changes.

Remember that you must restart the device for the new changes to take effect

• If you use "Outgoing connections" restrictions, remember that you need to specify the IP

address of the DNS server to use.

• If you need more than 3 authorized IP addresses, you can specify more than one IP address in

any box, separating these by ","

2.4 Serial Settings: Serial portX

From this section it is possible to configure a CSD/2G/3G/4G-RS232/RS485 transparent gateway to

remotely access serial devices, such as electricity meters.

• Baudrate: specifies the speed of the serial port (115200,..., 300)

• Data bits: specifies the number of data bits (7, 8)

• Parity: specifies parity (none, even [even], odd [odd])

• Stop bits: number of stop bits (1, 2)

• Flow Control: specifies flow control (none, hardware)

• Timeout ms: indicates the milliseconds to wait without receiving data through the serial port

before sending the data through IP. If you specify a "0" (default value), the data is sent via IP

as it arrives through the serial port. A number, for example 10, specifies that no data is sent

if there is not a minimum period of 10ms without receiving data through the serial port. This

allows data to reach the destination without the fragmentation problems common in some

protocols and data management platforms

• Allow incoming GSM call (CSD Data Call): selecting this box indicates that a CSD type call

is accepted. Only valid to work when the MTX-StarEnergy-M is configured to work in GPRS

(2G) mode. In this mode, when a CSD data call is received, it is accepted as long as a 2G-

RS232/485 gateway is not currently established. If so, the CSD call is rejected. In other words,

once a 2G-RS232 gateway is established, it takes precedence over the CSD call

• Function: Nothing or Used by External Device: select this operation option if you do not want to

use a certain serial port (such as IP/serial gateway)

• Function: Serial – IP Gateway (TCP Server): select this operation option if you want to establish

a transparent CSD/2G/3G/4G-RS232/485 gateway, that is, a scenario where the MTX-

StarEnergy-M device is at the it listens on a specific TCP port waiting to receive a connection to

establish the gateway. It is the usual function for metering applications

• TCP Local Port: TCP listening port for the Serial gateway - 2G/3G/4G

• RTS Line: allows you to select whether the RTS line will be active as long as a socket is

connected. By default Always on. RTS line is not usually used in metering applications
