ICDM-RX/TCP Installation and Configuration Guide
Local Using the IP Address or MAC Address
8.4.2. Local Using the IP Address or MAC Address
Use the following procedure to add a local ICDM-RX/TCP to PortVision DX if you do not want to scan the
network.
1. Locate the network information or MAC address of the ICDM-RX/TCP you want to add.
2. Right-click a folder or a RocketLinx switch in the Device Tree pane (anywhere in the pane, as long as an
ICDM-RX/TCP is not highlighted and you are in a valid folder) and click Add New > Device.
3. Select the appropriate ICDM-RX/TCP in the Device Type drop list.
4. Select the appropriate model in the Device Model drop list.
5. Enter a friendly device name in the Device Name list box.
6. Select LOCAL for the Detection Type.
7. Enter the MAC address or network information.
Note: A MAC address label is attached to all ICDM-RX/TCP units.
8. Optionally, enter the serial number in the Serial Number list box.
9. Click Ok.
10. If necessary, click Refresh for the new ICDM-RX/TCP to display. The ICDM-RX/TCP shows OFF-LINE if it
is not attached to the network or if an incorrect IP address was entered.
8.5. Using SocketServer Configuration Files
If you are deploying multiple ICDM-RX/TCP units that share common SocketServer values, you can save and
load the configuration file (.dc) using either PortVision DX or the web interface.

If you save a configuration file using PortVision DX, you can choose what settings you want to save or load.
You may want to program the network settings in multiple ICDM-RX/TCPs using Configuring Multiple ICDM-
RX/TCPs Network Addresses on Page 90.
