• The network information has been configured in the ICDM-RX/TCP (Configuring the Network Settings
(PortVision DX) on Page 28).
• Checked to see if the latest version of SocketServer resides on the ICDM-RX/TCP (Checking the
SocketServer Version on Page 29 using PortVision DX or you can open your browser, enter the ICDM-RX/
TCP IP address to view the version on the Server Status page.
• If necessary, uploaded the latest version of SocketServer (Uploading SocketServer with PortVision DX on
Page 30.
Note: Technical Supports recommends that you update to the latest version of SocketServer before installing
any NS-Link device driver.
After NS-Link driver installation and configuration, the same ports can be configured as TCP/IP sockets using
an NS-Link version of the SocketServer web page (Socket Port Configuration on Page 44).
