Section 3: Operation
Settings for establishing a serial connection to the DSA-PTP
module are as follows:
Bits per second: 9600 BAUD
Data bits: 8
Parity: none
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: none
The Serial Communications port also serves as the input
for the external scan trigger. For more information on
externally triggering scans, see "Scanning With An External
Trigger" on page 14.
For information on changing the boot parameters includ-
ing the module's Etherenet IP address, see "Changing Boot
Parameters (including IP address)" on page 60.

Ethernet Communications

The primary means of communication with the DSA3217-
PTP and DSA3218-PTP module is the 100Base-T Ethernet
port with MDIX auto-crossing. All DSA3217-PTP modules
use a standard RJ-45 Ethernet port. For added ruggedness,
all DSA3218-PTP modules use a M12 D Code connector
for the Ethernet connection instead of a standard RJ-45.
Shielded Category 5 cable or better is recommended for all
Ethernet connections.
Ethernet cables for the DSA3218-PTP modules can be
ordered from Scanivalve in any length up to 100 feet (30
meters).
In the event that you are replacing a legacy DSA3218 with a
DSA-PTP module, an adapter can be purchased to connect
the M12 D Code connector to the legacy Mil Spec connec-
tor (Scanivalve PN 156120-01).

Before an Ethernet connection can be established the IP
address need to be configured. In order to be compatible,
the IP address of the module and host computer must
share the first two octets. The third and fourth octets of
the IP address is variable, although it is recommended that
the third octet also be shared between the host computer
and the module.
Example of matching the first three octets (recommended):
Example of matching the first two octets:
The IP address of a Windows host computer can be
changed under:
Control Panel -> Network Connections -> Local Area
Network -> Properties -> Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) ->
Properties.
For information on changing the DSA-PTP module's IP
address, see "Changing Boot Parameters (including IP
address)" on page 60.

Client/Host Options

Once the module has been connected and the IP address
has been configured, communications can be established
with the DSA-PTP module. Communications can be made
through several software packages including:
