Troubleshooting LINK150 ION Protocol Passthrough on Port 7801

[Michael_McSorley]

I am trying to use the ION Pass Through function of the Link150.  Currently, I have a Link150 set to use ION Pass Through port 7801.  I have noticed that after a short time period all communications to devices stops.  When I reboot the Link150 all communications are working properly.  Shortly after the reboot all communications again stops.  For troubleshooting purposes, I removed the Link150 and connected the serial chain to my laptop using a USB converter.  I am able to read data from all meters with no issues using the real-time function in ION Setup.

One thing I have observed when troubleshooting this issue is that port 7801 seems to be opening and closing.  Using the simple 'telnet' command in Windows, I found the port to be open after a reboot.  After a minute the port is again closed.

Has this issue with the 7801 port opening and closing been observed anywhere else?

Hi, 

I have this exact problem!

Did you find a resolution?

The new latest firmware (released at the same time as my post!) v 5.29 solves the problem!!  Thanks tech support.

does anyone know what device supports "ION PASSTHROUGH" now that the Link 150 is end of life?

Hello @RPAEZ , 

ION Passthrough was implemented in our former EGX gateways range (EGX100, EGX300, Link150).

Panel Server does not integrate this feature.

Better connect your ION Meters through Ethernet.
