Available
This parameter identifies if the selected frequency channel is currently available
for use with the ES80. If it is available, the status is identified as True.
Transceiver Browsing
The
Transceiver Browsing
search for transceivers on the network.
The communication is made between the Processor Unit (identified with its Local IP
Address) and one or more transceivers. To search your network for transceivers, check
that the correct IP address of the Ethernet board in the Processor Unit is shown, then
click the button. All transceivers connected to the Processor Unit through the
Browse
network are automatically listed in the
identified with its applicable status label.
Local IP Address
This is the Internet Protocol (IP) address of the Ethernet interface adapter located in
your Processor Unit. In most cases, each Ethernet adapter has a unique IP address,
even when it supports multiple sockets. If you have more than one Ethernet
adapter, you are provided with a list of the available addresses.
The Ethernet board used to communicate with the ES80 transceiver(s) must be set
up in the same address range as the transceiver(s).
If you have more than one Ethernet adapter in your Processor Unit:
• Set up one adapter to communicate with the transceiver(s) using the IP address
and Subnet mask shown.
• Set up one adapter to communicate with the local area network (LAN).
Remote IP Address
This is the Internet Protocol (IP) address for a peripheral device. This peripheral
device is the transceiver.
If you wish to locate a transceiver using Point-to-Point communication, type the IP
Address for the transceiver you wish to communicate with. If you don't know the
transceiver's IP Address, leave this field blank, and use Broadcast communication.
Communication Mode
You can select Broadcast or Point-to-point.
Broadcast mode enables data to be sent from the ES80 to any number of "remote
devices". Data is only transmitted to these devices. Point-to-point mode implies
that the ES80 Processor Unit is physically connected only to one single remote
device. A complete two-way communication system is then established.
This peripheral device is the transceiver.
Use Broadcast if you do not know the Internet Protocol (IP) Address of the
transceiver you are trying to locate.
