FS-8704-01 SMC TCP/IP Driver Manual SMC TCP/IP Description The SMC TCP/IP driver allows the FieldServer to transfer data to and from other FieldServers over Ethernet using SMC TCP/IP protocol. The FieldServer can emulate either a Server or Client. The SMC TCP/IP driver can be used for inter-bridge (FieldServer to FieldServer) communications to perform tasks like mirroring data arrays between FieldServers.
Required 3 Ethernet network. ∗ Not all FieldServer models support 100BaseT. Consult the appropriate instruction manual for details of the Ethernet speed supported by specific hardware.

This section documents and describes the parameters necessary for configuring the FieldServer to communicate with a SMC TCP/IP Client. The configuration file tells the FieldServer about its interfaces, and the routing of data required. In order to enable the FieldServer for SMC TCP/IP communications, the driver independent FieldServer buffers need to be declared in the “Data Arrays”...
Node_1, Note that there are no Server map descriptors for this driver since the targets are Data Arrays. Make sure the target Data Arrays exist on the target FieldServer. ∗ Note that no connection information is necessary on Server side FieldServer Technologies 1991 Tarob Court Milpitas, California 95035 USA Web:www.fieldserver.com...
