T:LANs can be ordered with a variety of factory installed options. This post provides a quick guide on how to identify the options present in a particular unit. Please note that when ordering a T:LAN RTU, customers can specify whether the unit should be equipped with either a MODEM or a MODBUS module. As both of these optional modules share the same internal footprint they are mutually exclusive.
To find out about the hardware configuration settings of a T:LAN, log into the unit, then navigate to the GENERAL SYSTEM CHARACTERISTICS screen. Check the option shown under <5>:
