1.1. Supported ICDM-RX/TCP Models

This Installation and Configuration Guide supports the ICDM-RX/TCP platform. The Guide refers to ICDM-RX/
TCP unless there is model-specific information.

1.2. ICDM-RX/TCP Port Usage

ICDM-RX/TCP serial ports can be configured for many environments, which include the following:
• COM port (or secure COM ports) when the NS-Link driver for Windows is installed
• tty ports when the NS-Link driver for Linux is installed
• Socket ports when SocketServer or the NS-Link web page is configured accordingly

1.3. Installation Overview

ICDM-RX/TCP installation and configuration follows these steps:
1. Hardware installation.
Power up the ICDM-RX/TCP. Technical Support suggests installing one ICDM-RX/TCP at a time to avoid
configuration problems using Hardware Installation on Page 10.
2. Install PortVision DX.
Pepperl+Fuchs recommends connecting the ICDM-RX/TCP to a PC or laptop running Windows and that
you install PortVision DX for easy IP address configuration and firmware updates. See Installing PortVision
DX on Page 27 to install PortVision DX.
3. Program the IP address.
See Configuring the Network Settings (PortVision DX) on Page 28 for detailed configuration procedures.
