IMPORTANT NOTE: Some steps in this procedure use the MOXA
options might change based on the user interface and the firmware version in the module. Refer to
MOXA documentation for additional configuration options.
®
To configure the MOXA
–
Verify that the host system or laptop you use to configure the module has a web browser or the
MOXA ® module user interface shipped with the module (N port device manager).
–
Verify that the RMC Ethernet or network adapter is enabled and configured with a valid IP
address.
–
Obtain RMC-compatible IP parameters for the MOXA
A valid IP address, subnet mask, and gateway for public addressing.
•
A valid IP address and subnet mask compatible with the RMC factory defaults for private
•
addressing.
To configure the MOXA® module network settings using the web interface:
IMPORTANT NOTE: Complete all configuration before restarting the module. Once configuration
changes take effect after a restart, the connection from your laptop to the module will be lost. To
reconnect with the module again, configure laptop with a compatible IP address.
1. Verify that the module is powered on.
2. Configure the laptop with a private IP address that is compatible with the default address on
the MOXA® module. The default private IP address of the module is 192.168.127.254.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Choose an IP address from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
reserved address block: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. The assigned subnet mask for this block
is 255.255.0.0.
3. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the laptop Ethernet port to the module's Ethernet port 1.
4. Launch the web browser on the laptop and direct the browser to the module's default IP
address (192.168.127.254). The main configuration page displays.
5. Configure the network parameters:
Click Network Settings on the navigation tree.
a.
b. Type the valid IP parameters (IP address, Netmask, Gateway).
For private IP addressing: Type an IP address and subnet mask that is compatible
with the RMC default IP parameters. You can use private addressing if the RMC is not
connected to a network.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Select an IP address from the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)
reserved APIPA address block: 169.254.0.0 - 169.254.255.255. The assigned subnet mask for this
block is 255.255.0.0.
For public IP addressing: Type a valid address from the network administrator. Use
public addressing when the RMC connects to a network and has an IP address to
connect to that network.
6. Verify that the IP Configuration is set to Static.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Do not configure the MOXA
ensure RMC-MOXA
7. Take note of the IP address. The IP address is a required parameter when configuring the RMC
for communication with the module.
Click Submit.

9. Configure each serial port:
Click Serial Settings on the navigation tree.
a.
b. Select the port.
c. Select the appropriate configuration for each of the settings. Verify that they match those of
the device attached to the port.
10. Click Submit.
