Section 7 NCB-EL/FL Configuration
CAUTION: TCP/IP Settings
!
Configure the TCP/IP settings on the router before connecting to a TCP/IP network.
7.1 TCP/IP Settings
TCP/IP settings are configured for the router using the Ether/Plug application that is supplied with
the router. This Ether/Plug application configures the router using a direct RS-232 serial
connection to each router to be configured.
•
Install the Ether/Plug application (supplied on CD) according to the manufacturer's
instructions.
•
Once installed, start the application by selecting Start >Programs >CTI products >Ether/Plug.
When using Ether/Plug the first time, a message box will display prompting the user for a
directory.
•
Once the directory is set, the user will then be prompted to create a new channel by entering a
name for the channel.
•
The channel is the TCP/IP network connecting the NCB-EL/FL routers.
• Each router can only exist in a single channel.
• A group of NCB-EL/FL routers can only communicate with the routers in its channel.
• The maximum number of routers that can be configured for a single channel is 50; however,
this number will vary depending on the TCP/IP and Echelon networks.
NOTE: For more information on using the Ether/Plug application, refer to the manufacturer's
documentation.
