Device Configuration -
Special Considerations for EPM 7700 only
The EPM 7700 Device Configuration dialog box contains two extra fields, which
must be completed during configuration. The Node Name field requires that you
enter the name of the computer running the Communications Server that connects to
this particular device. Depending on the configuration of the EPM 7700 network,
this can be either the Primary node computer, or a computer setup as a "Full Station"
Secondary node. Refer to DEH-40035, the GE 7700 Gateway Users Guide, and
GEH-6514, PMCS Read This Book First, for more information on network
configuration. The Node Name field is required because the EPM 7700 does not use
the same DDE server as the rest of the standard PMCS devices, and the wizard must
be directed to the location of the correct Communications Server for proper
configuration of DDE topic names.
Also, the Application Name field must be completed as ION_LINK rather than
GE32MODB or GE32ENET for the EPM 7700 device. The ION LINK program is
installed during initial PMCS setup if the EPM 7700 software option is selected.
When configuring Wizards on Secondary nodes, the Application Name field entry
does not follow the PMCS wizard convention of "\\RemoteComputer\ION_LINK".
EPM 7700 Secondary nodes run a local copy of the ION LINK server, thus the
application name for EPM 7700 Large Faceplate wizards is always "ION_LINK"
whether the wizard is installed on the Primary node or a Secondary node. The Node
Name entry determines if the wizard is on a Secondary node.
The Gateway Name field must be completed with GE77GTWY, the application
name of the GE 7700 Gateway Server program. When configuring the EPM 7700
Tabular wizard on a Secondary node, the Gateway Name does follow the PMCS
wizard convention of "\\RemoteComputer\GE77GTWY" in the Gateway Name field,
where 'RemoteComputer' is the name of the PC where the GE 7700 Gateway
application is running – the Primary Node. The previous figure shows a Tabular Data
Dialog box as it would appear when configuring a Tabular Data wizard on a
Secondary node. The Node Name field contains the name of the Primary Node
computer, the Application Name field is ION_LINK (as it is for ALL EPM 7700
wizards on ANY node) and the Gateway Name field points to the GE 7700 Gateway
Server running on the Primary Node PC.
Refer to DEH-40035 for information on the Communications Server and 7700
Gateway Server.
