PortServer TS MEI assigning IP ports to serial ports

I am trying to configure my PortServer TS MEI to have 4 seperate serial ports. Each serial port is addressed by an different IP port. Is this possible? I have only be able to get the first serial port to route modbus to the modbus device. If I try to plug the device cable into a different serial port on the PortServer it fails.

Any ideas?

Hello,
try uninstalling and reinstalling the digi unit. By the way, how does your modbus work and what exactly is it? I keep reading about it being used in a catalog, but just can’t visualize the concept.
Thanks!

Yes this is possible. From commandline mode this would be known as altip, that is, giving each serial port a unique IP address.

This article has some information on setting that up on our old Porserver model:

The same would be possible with a Portserver TS MEI, though the syntax may have changed slightly over the years. Here’s a link to the current commandline manual:
