ICDM-RX/TCP Installation and Configuration Guide
Initial Configuration
3. Initial Configuration
There are several ways to configure network information. Pepperl+Fuchs Technical Support recommends
connecting the ICDM-RX/TCP to a PC or laptop running Windows and installing PortVision DX for initial
configuration.
Optionally, you can use RedBoot to configure the network address, see RedBoot Procedures on Page 111.
This section shows how to use PortVision DX for initial ICDM-RX/TCP configuration. It also defines
requirements and how configuring ICDM-RX/TCP security affects PortVision DX and shows you how to:
•
Install PortVision DX
•
Configure the network address (Page 28)
•
Check the SocketServer version on the ICDM-RX/TCP (Page 29)
•
If necessary, upload the latest SocketServer version into the ICDM-RX/TCP (Page 30)
3.1. PortVision DX Overview
PortVision DX automatically detects Pepperl+Fuchs ICDM-RX, ICE2, ICE3 or ICRL-M Ethernet attached
products physically attached to the local network segment so that you can configure the network address,
upload firmware, and manage the following products:
•
ICDM-RX family
•
IO-Link master (ICE2/ICE3)
•
RocketLinx managed switches
In addition to identifying Pepperl+Fuchs ICDM-RX, ICE2, ICE3 or ICRL-M Ethernet attached products, you can
use PortVision DX to display any third-party switch and hardware that may be connected directly to those
devices. All non-Pepperl+Fuchs products and unmanaged RocketLinx switches are treated as non-intelligent
devices and have limited feature support. For example, you cannot configure or update firmware on a third-
party switch.
You can customize how PortVision DX displays the devices, refer to the help system for specific procedures.
