Connection

Connection options are used to open or close a communication connection
between the workstation and the MSE 1000 modules.
Disconnect
The Disconnect option will close the communication connection between the
workstation and the MSE 1000 modules. MSEsetup can still be used for viewing
logs, configuring network settings, and modifying MSEsetup configurations when
disconnected. This choice is not available if a successful Broadcast has not been
performed.
To Disconnect:
Press the Disconnect button.
A message verifying the connection status is displayed in the Connect screen
message area.
Reconnect
The Reconnect option will attempt to open a communication connection between
the workstation and the MSE 1000 modules based on the last known module
chain configuration. This choice is not available if a successful Broadcast has not
been performed.
To reconnect:
Press the Reconnect button.
A message verifying the connection status is displayed in the Connect screen
message area.
Broadcast
The Broadcast option sends out a Limited or Directed broadcast requesting
a connection with the MSE 1000 modules. A limited broadcast sends out a
connection request over all connected networks using the IP limited broadcast
address of 255.255.255.255. A directed broadcast sends out a connection request
to the subnetwork selected in Workstation IP . A limited broadcast is sent by
default.
A directed broadcast is recommended when multiple networks are
connected to a single switch. If a limited broadcast is sent, each module
will respond multiple times and cause an incorrect number of modules
to be found.
