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-220Fx. 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-220Fx. 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-220Fx 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-220Fx 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.
