3 Preparation for Management
Before you start to configure the JetI/O, you need to know the system architecture of the
JetI/O products, configure the device's IP address, and then you can remotely manage
the Ethernet I/O via the network. This chapter introduces the basic knowledge of the
related technologies.
Following topics are covered in this chapter:
3.1 Understand the Intelligent Ethernet I/O Server Architecture
3.2 Preparation for Remote Management
3.1
Understand the Ethernet I/O Server Architecture
The Figure 1 shows the JetI/O Intelligent Ethernet I/O Server Architecture. In the top level
shows the typical applications run in the remote I/O environment. The middle level is the
Ethernet infrastructure. The low level, gray block include the software agents, signal types
of the JetI/O 6500 series intelligent Ethernet I/O Server.

3.2
Preparation for Remote Management
JetI/O 6500 series Intelligent I/O Server provides several types remote management
methods. You can configure the JetI/O via the Ethernet network. You just need to know
the device's IP address and then you can remotely control or monitor the I/O channels'
information.
JetI/O provides several ways for users to configure the IP address. The default IP
address is 192.168.10.3. You can directly connect the JetI/O one after one to change its
