CHAPTER 3
Configuration
Once the KLINKMANN Omron Ethernet DAServer has been installed, a small amount of
configuration is required. This configuration is performed using the DAServer Manager
hosted in the System Management Console after it is started through the Programs
menu of the Windows Start button.
Before the DAServer is activated, the device hierarchy, simulating the physical hardware
layout, must first be built to establish communications to each of the controllers. Once the
Omron Ethernet hierarchy has been built, the respective devices for communications can
be configured. Finally, the desired Device Groups for each controller may be created.
Note: To run the Omron Ethernet DAServer as a service, use the context menu on the
DAServer name and select “Configure As Service”. You can configure it as an auto
service or manual service. For more information about configuring your DAServer as a
service, see the “Activation/Deactivation/Service Component” of the DAServer Manager
documentation.
