8.1 USB Configuration Utility

The gateway can be configured by a PC via a USB mini type-B cable. This
connection provides power to the device, so there is no need for any external
power supply while the gateway is attached to the PC.
The gateway is configured by the ICC Gateway Configuration Utility PC
application. For information on how to install the utility, refer to the ICC Gateway
Configuration Utility User's Manual.
The following will briefly describe how to configure the gateway using the
configuration utility. For more information, refer to the ICC Gateway Configuration
Utility User's Manual.
Manually Selecting a Device
Select the XLTR-1000 from the device menu: click Device→Select
Device→XLTR-1000.
Note that when a device is selected, the utility will then automatically attempt to
locate any connected devices of that type.
Automatically Connecting To a Device
If a device is already connected to the PC, you can click the Auto Connect
button and the utility will automatically select the correct device and upload the
current configuration from the connected device.
General Configuration
To configure the gateway, select the desired protocol, baud rate, parity, address,
timeout, and scan rate/response delay for both RS-485 ports, and configure any
objects associated with the designated protocols (refer to section 8.6 for more
information). For more information on configuring ports, refer to section 8.3.
Note that all numbers can be entered in not only decimal but also in hexadecimal
by including "0x" before the hexadecimal number.
Database Endianness Selection
Select the desired endianness for how data will be stored in the database: click
Device→Database Endianness→Big Endian to use big endian style or click
Device→Database Endianness→Little Endian to use little endian style. Note
that this is part of the configuration and therefore does not take effect until the
configuration is downloaded to the device. For more information on the database
endianness, refer to Appendix A: Database Endianness.
