Description 
ifFwd 
Integer 
Communication interface to forward command message 
from, as master, for selected table entry. When forwarding 
interface uses a Modbus IP protocol, ifFwd selects the 
type of protocol network. 
When a Modbus IP protocol is selected for the Forward 
Interface, the IP Stack automatically determines which 
interface to use (Ethernet or existing PPP connection) to 
find the requested Forward IP Address. 
If a serial port is selected for the Forward Interface, and 
the serial port is configured for PPP protocol, the message 
will not be forwarded. 
100 = Modbus/TCP network 
101 = Modbus RTU over UDP network 
102 = Modbus ASCII over UDP network 
1 = com1 
2 = com2 
3 = com3 
4 = com4 
stnFwd 
Integer 
Station number of remote slave device to forward 
command message to, for selected table entry. 
0 to 255 in standard Modbus 
0 to 65534 in extended Modbus 
ipFwd 
Message 
IP address of remote slave device to forward command 
message to, for selected table entry. 
Format is 255.255.255.255.
