Programmable Device Server with I/O Expansion Slot(s)
The following is an overview of the parameters contained in the Network Settings section:
Item
IP Address
Subnet Mask
Gateway
DHCP Client
UDP Search
Command Port
Description
If no DHCP server is installed on the network, the network settings
can be configured manually.
This parameter is used to assign the subnet mask for the PDS-8x1
controller. The subnet mask indicates which portion of the IP address
is used to identify the local network or subnet.
This parameter is used to assign the IP Address of the Gateway to be
used by the PDS-8x1 controller. A Gateway (or router) is a device that
is used to connect an individual network to one or more additional
networks.
This parameter is used to enable or disable DHCP Client configuration
function. It is recommended that the DHCP Client setting is kept as
disabled, and using static network settings. This ensures your PDS-
8x1 controller always using a fixed IP address, and you don't need to
configure the virtual COM mappings again and again.
0 = Disabled, 1 = Enabled
This parameter is used to enable or disable UDP
Search function.
0 = Disabled
1 = Enabled
2 = Enable the UDP Search function until another
client is connected.
By keeping the UDP search setting as 2, the PDS-8x1
controller loading will be reduced. The VxComm
Utility will not be able to search for this module until
this module's clients are all disconnected.
This parameter is used to configure the TCP Command
Port to a custom value depending on your
requirement. Note that if the TCP Command Port
configuration setting is completed, the TCP port of
serial port will be change, as follows:
COM1= TCP Command Port + 1
COM2= TCP Command Port + 2 ...., and so on.
The default TCP Command Port is 10000. Thus, the
serial COM port1/port2 is 10001/10002, and so on.
