ICDM-RX/TCP Installation and Configuration Guide
Checking the SocketServer Version
9. If necessary, you can change the Detection Type.
•
REMOTE means that the ICDM-RX/TCP is not connected to this segment of the network and it uses IP
communications, not MAC communications.
•
LOCAL means that the ICDM-RX/TCP is on this local network segment and uses MAC
communications. An IP address is not required but Technical support recommends using an IP address.
10. Change the ICDM-RX/TCP network properties as required for your site.
•
To use the ICDM-RX/TCP with DHCP, click DHCP IP, and make sure that you provide the MAC address
of the device to the network administrator. Make sure that the administrator reserves the IP address,
subnet mask and gateway address of the ICDM-RX/TCP in the DHCP server.
•
To program a static IP address, click Static IP and enter the appropriate values for your site.
Note: For additional information, open the PortVision DX Help system.
11. Typically, the Bootloader Timeout value should be left to it's default value. In some situations, you may
need to temporarily adjust the Bootloader Timeout to a higher value during a firmware update.
12. Click Apply Changes to update the network information on the ICDM-RX/TCP.
Note: If you are deploying multiple ICDM-RX/TCPs that share common values, you can save the
configuration file and load that configuration onto other ICDM-RX/TCPs. See Using SocketServer
Configuration Files on Page 92 for more information.
13. Click Close to exit the Properties window.
Go to Checking the SocketServer Version on Page 29 to check the SocketServer version. You should update
SocketServer firmware before any further configuration.
3.6. Checking the SocketServer Version
SocketServer refers to the web page that is integrated in the firmware that comes pre-installed on your ICDM-
RX/TCP platform, which provides an interface to TCP/IP socket mode configuration and services. If you install
an NS-Link device driver, an NS-Link version of SocketServer loads on the ICDM-RX/TCP.
Note: Technical Support recommends that you update to the latest version of SocketServer before installing
an NS-Link device driver or configuring socket ports.
Use the following procedure to check the SocketServer version on the ICDM-RX/TCP. .
1. If necessary, open PortVision DX (Pepperl+Fuchs Comtrol > PortVision DX) or use the desktop
shortcut and scan the network.
2. Check the SocketServer version number of the Software Version for the ICDM-RX/TCP.
3. Contact technical support at https://www.pepperl-fuchs.com to see if a later version of SocketServer is
available.
4. If necessary, use Uploading SocketServer with PortVision DX on Page 30 to upload the latest version.
If the SocketServer version on the ICDM-RX/TCP is current, you are ready to continue the installation and
configuration process.
