Connection Mechanism In Nwconfig - Delta AH500 Hardware Operation Manual

9.1.3.1 Connection Mechanism in NWCONFIG

In the networks created in NWCONFIG, users can download parameters to a single node or multiple nodes,
upload parameters from a single node or multiple nodes, and monitor a single node or multiple nodes. Before
users download parameters to a single node or multiple nodes, upload parameters from a single node or
multiple nodes, or monitor a single node or multiple nodes, they have to select appropriate parameters.

Single node
Users can download parameters to a single device, upload parameters from a single device, and monitor
a single device. Before users download parameters to a single device, upload parameters from a single
device, or monitor a single device, they have to make sure that the device specified is the same as the
device which is actually connected to the computer.

Multiple nodes
In a network, users can download parameters to multiple devices, upload parameters from multiple
devices, and monitor multiple devices. Before users download parameters to multiple devices, upload
parameters from multiple devices, or monitor multiple devices, they have to make sure that the devices
are connected to an Ethernet network, the devices are assigned IP addresses, and the connection type
that the driver uses is Ethernet.
If the connection type that the driver selected uses is Ethernet, the system will carry out communication
according to the IP addresses assigned to the devices in NWCONFIG. Before the communication is carried
out, users have to make sure that the IP addresses actually assigned to the devices are the same as the IP
addresses set in NWCONFIG, and the networks actually created are the same as the networks created in
NWCONFIG. Otherwise, an error will occur if the communication is carried out.
