Planning the Network Connection

To use the 2461 in the Ethernet network, you need these minimum requirements:
•
DCS 300 (2461 with UDP Plus)
•
Ethernet connector in your network
You need to work with your network administrator to plan and assign the IP address for
each device in the Ethernet network. For a 2461 with UDP Plus, you must also assign
an IP address to the DCS 300.

Configuring the DCS 300

The DCS 300 supports and manages communications with other devices in the Ethernet
network. When you install and configure the server, you identify the host computer(s)
and 2461 terminals in your network. The terminals communicate through the server
with your host by using UDP Plus protocol. For help installing the server, see the DCS
300 System Manual (Part No. 067296).
Note: You can use a 2461 running TCP/IP protocol and the DCS 300 in a pass-through
network. You establish a direct TCP/IP socket connection from the 2461 to the host
through the server. For more information, see the DCS 300 System Manual.
To have the 2461 communicate with the server, you must configure these parameters on
the server:
•
Configure the Ethernet network.
•
Configure the UDP Plus network.
•
Enter the IP address for each 2461.
•
Enable all 2461 terminals.
•
Define the host environment parameters, which includes configuring for screen
mapping or client/server applications.
To do screen mapping on the DCS 300, you must:
•
create the script file using the Script Builder tool on the server.
•
create an application using EZBuilder and download it to the T2461.
