RECOMMENDED PC RS232 SERIAL PORT ADD-ONS
Many computers lack an internal RS232 serial port DSE advises against using USB to RS232 converters and instead recommends PC add-ons to equip your computer with an RS232 port.
Remember to check these parts are suitable for your PC Consult your PC supplier for further advice

FIREWALL CONFIGURATION FOR INTERNET ACCESS
NOTE: Refer to the modules configuration suite manual further details on configuring
Due to the significant variations in modem and router configurations, DSE cannot provide a comprehensive guide for their use with the module However, we can outline the general requirements needed for connectivity For specific instructions on connecting your modem or router, please consult the equipment supplier.
The module makes its data available over Modbus TCP and as such communicates over the Ethernet using a Port configured via the DSE Configuration Suite software
You must configure your modem/router to allow inbound traffic on this port For more information you are referred to your WAN interface device (modem/router) manufacturer
If the Modbus Port Number assigned to the module is already in use on the LAN, the module will be unusable, necessitating the selection of a different port.
The module's user interface is accessible through standard web browsers, utilizing a designated port for all communication, which is typically configured to allow outgoing traffic through firewalls.
Network Address and Port Translation (NAPT) enables a single device, like a modem or router, to serve as an intermediary between the Internet and a local private network This technology allows an entire group of computers to be represented by a single, unique IP address.
For our application, this means that the WAN IP address of the modem/router is the IP address we need to access the site from an external (internet) location
When the requests reach the modem/router, we want this passed to a ‘virtual server’ for handling, in our case this is the module
Result : Traffic arriving from the WAN (internet) on port xxx is automatically sent to IP address set within the configuration software on the LAN for handling
