Select Master Mode or Slave Mode, the Master IP must be set if you selected Slave Mode. However, the
Master IP is not required if the Master Mode is selected. Please make sure that there is only one master
unit in the same network.
If the server (NetControl-X) is set to master, all VP-II X units must be set to be slaves. In this case you
must enter the server IP address as the Master IP.
Port
You can change the TCP/IP port to be used for the VP-II X system if the default port (61235) is already
occupied or reserved for another system. It is recommended that you use a port number over 60,000.
The same port number must be applied to all the VP-II X units in the network as well as the server.
DB Sync. Function and DB Synchronization Time (Master)
The master periodically monitors the database of slaves to synchronize it with the database in the master.
This guarantees that the slave's database is synchronized with master's database, and verification can
be made at any slave even if there is no network connectivity.
The master performs this operation in the interval (in minutes) set here. The range of synchronization
time is from 20 to 1440 minutes (24 hours).
Heartbeat Time (Slave)
Heartbeat is a communication protocol between slave and master in order to check communication
status. A slave sends out a heartbeat protocol to the master and checks for a response in the interval (in
seconds) set here. The range of heartbeat time is from 10 to 255 seconds.
1.3 Server Setting
If the NetControl-X is used, the IP address of the server where the NetControl-X is running must be set
on each VP-II X unit on the network.
