            <ul>
                <li><b>RTS/CTS</b> - hardware handshaking. RTS and CTS are turned OFF and ON from alternate ends to control data flow, for instance when a buffer is almost full.</li>
                <li><b>Xon/Xoff</b> - software handshaking. The Xon and Xoff characters are sent by the receiver to the sender to control when the sender will send data, i.e., these characters go in the opposite direction to the data being sent. The circuit starts in the "sending allowed" state. When the receiver's buffers approach capacity, the receiver sends the Xoff character to tell the sender to stop sending data. Later, after the receiver has emptied its buffers, it sends an Xon character to tell the sender to resume transmission.</li>

===Slaves===
----
The <b>Slaves</b> section is used to configure new Modbus slave devices. A Modbus slave is an entity that can be called upon by a Modbus master in order to obtain some type of information from it.
 
To create a new Modbus slave, enter a custom name for it and click the 'Add' button. Then click the 'Edit' button next to the slave in order to enter its configuration window.
 
====Slave settings====
----
The <b>Settings</b> section is used to configure the main parameters of the Modbus slave. Refer to the figure and table below for additional information.

==MQTT Gateway==
The <b>MQTT Gateway</b> function is used to transfer Modbus data (send requests, receive responses) over MQTT. When it is enabled, the device (this {{{name}}}) subscribes to a REQUEST topic and publishes on a RESPONSE topic on a specified MQTT broker. It translates received MQTT message payload to a Modbus request and relays it to the specified Modbus TCP slave.
When the MQTT Gateway receives a response from the slave, it translates it to an MQTT message and publishes it on the RESPONSE topic.
[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_modbus_mqtt_gateway_scheme.png]]
Below is an example of the MQTT Gateway page. Refer to the table for information on MQTT Gateway configuration fields.

===Request messages===
----
Modbus request data sent in the MQTT payload should be generated in accordance with the following format:
<b>0 <COOKIE> <IP_TYPE> <IP> <PORT> <TIMEOUT> <SLAVE_ID> <MODBUS_FUNCTION> <REGISTER_NUMBER> <REGISTER_COUNT/VALUE></b>
Explanation:
<ul>
    <li><b>0</b> - must be 0, which signifies a textual format (currently the only one implemented).</li>
    <li><b>Cookie</b> - a 64-bit unsigned integer in range [0..2<sup>64</sup>]). A cookie is used in order to distinguish which response belongs to which request, each request and the corresponding response contain a matching cookie: a 64-bit unsigned integer.</li>
    <li><b>IP type</b> - host IP address type. Possible values:
        <ul>
            <li><b>0</b> - IPv4 address;</li>
            <li><b>1</b> - IPv6 address;</li>
            <li><b>2</b> - hostname that will be resolved to an IP address.</li>
        </ul></li>
    <li><b>IP</b> - IP address of a Modbus TCP slave. IPv6 must be presented in full form (e.g., <i>2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334</i>).</li>
    <li><b>Port</b> - port number of the Modbus TCP slave.</li>
    <li><b>Timeout</b> - timeoutfor Modbus TCP connection, in seconds. Range [1..999].</li>
    <li><b>Slave ID</b> - Modbus TCP slave ID. Range [1..255].</li>
    <li><b>Modbus function</b> -  Only these are supported at the moment:
        <ul>
            <li><b>3</b> - read holding registers;</li>
            <li><b>6</b> - write to a single holding register;</li>
            <li><b>16</b> - write to multiple holding registers.</li>
        </ul></li>
    <li><b>Register number</b> - number of the first register (in range [1..65536]) from which the registers will be read/written to.
    <li><b>Register count/value</b> - this value depends on the Modbus function:
        <ul>
            <li><b>3</b> - <u>register count</u> (in range [1..125]); must not exceed the boundary (first register number + register count <= 65537);</li>
            <li><b>6</b> - <u>register value</u> (in range [0..65535]);</li>
            <li><b>16</b> - <u>register count</u> (in range [1..123]); must not exceed the boundary (first register number + register count <= 65537); and <u>register values</u> separated with commas, without spaces (e.g., <i>1,2,3,654,21,789</i>); there must be exactly as many values as specified (with register count); each value must be in the range of [0..65535].</li>
        </ul></li>
</ul>
===Response messages===
----
A special response message can take one of the following forms:
<COOKIE> OK                              - <i>for functions 6 and 16</i>
<COOKIE> OK <VALUE> <VALUE> <VALUE>...  - <i>for function 3, where <VALUE> <VALUE> <VALUE>... are read register values</i>
<COOKIE> ERROR: ...                      - <i>for failures, where ... is the error description</i>
===Examples===
----
Below are a few <b>examples</b> of controlling/monitoring the internal Modbus TCP Slave on {{{name}}}.
----
<b>Reboot the device</b>
<ul>
    <li>Request:<br><pre>0 65432 0 192.168.1.1 502 5 1 6 206 1</pre></li>
    <li>Response:<br><pre>65432 OK</pre></li>
</ul>
----
<b>Retrieve uptime</b>
<ul>
    <li>Request:<br><pre>0 65432 0 192.168.1.1 502 5 1 3 2 2</pre></li>
    <li>Response:<br><pre>65432 OK 0 5590</pre></li>
</ul>
----
If you're using Eclipse Mosquitto (MQTT implementation used on {{{name}}}), Publish/Subscribe commands may look something like this:
<b>Retrieve uptime</b>
<ul>
    <li>Request:<br><pre>mosquitto_pub -h 192.168.1.1 -p 1883 -t request -m "0 65432 0 192.168.1.1 502 5 1 3 2 2"</pre></li>
    <li>Response:<br><pre>mosquitto_sub -h 192.168.1.1 -p 1883 -t response
65432 OK 0 5590</pre></li>
</ul>
