Using Portvision Dx To Program The Ip Address - Comtrol IO-Link Master Series Initial Installation And Configuration

Using PortVision DX to Program the IP Address

PortVision DX automatically detects Comtrol Ethernet attached products physically attached to the local
network segment so that you can quickly configure the network address, upload firmware, access IOLM
embedded web pages, download the latest product documentation, and manage the following products:
•
DeviceMaster family
•
IO-Link Master
•
RocketLinx managed switches
In addition to identifying, Comtrol Ethernet attached products, you can use PortVision DX to display any
third-party switch and hardware that may be connected directly to those devices. All non-Comtrol
products and unmanaged RocketLinx devices are treated as non-intelligent devices and have limited
feature support. For example, you cannot configure or update firmware on a third-party switch.
PortVision DX also provides these features:
•
Telnet/SSH interface
•
PuTTY
•
Ability to save and load IOLM configuration files
•
Save Device Diagnostics Data, which can be sent to Comtrol in the event you have a support
issue
•
LED Tracker feature
Use the Advanced | Network embedded web page, if you want to configure the following:
•
Host name
•
DNS servers
•
Syslog Server IP/Host name
•
Syslog Port
•
SSH Server Enable
Note: You can use PortVision DX to configure the IP address information and then use the web
interface to configure the options not configurable in PortVision DX.
This subsection provides the following procedures:
•
Download and install PortVision DX
•
Scan the network and locate the IOLM
•
Program the IOLM IP address to operate on your network
