Hardware Version:Module hardware design version. Product Serial Number:The only identifier for DAUDIN products. In the network settings in Fig 6.2, all parameters can be set as needed except MAC. Once set, click on "Upload Parameters" as illustrated in Fig 6.3.
6.3 Default Settings Other than using i-Designer to set the parameters, users can press the reset button on the inside of the coupler side panel to reset system parameters. Press Time/Mode Application Mode Press (<6 seconds) RESET hold (>6 seconds) Reset, restore parameters to factory default settings.(under the work mode)*note...
Error Code Inquiry Users can, via the errod code module (a virtual module) to look up the system's error information and the timeout physical module that has been triggered. Once stations have been allocated after boot up, the system will automatically assign the error code modules to the final empty slots on the module. If there is no empty slot available, the system will ignore this task automatically.
