Through configuration experience, the “in” and “out” data flows will become

11.4 General Configuration Procedure
Now that we have had a brief tutorial on port and point configuration, we can
proceed on to how these elements fit into the overall configuration procedure.
The general configuration procedure steps can be summarized as follows:
1. Assign the initial Ethernet configuration via either the ARP ping
method or console configuration method.
2. Access the embedded web server’s configuration page via a web
browser.
3. Assign (or enable/disable) the desired protocols and their
characteristics to the specific communication ports.
4. Perform the desired per-protocol mapping and definition assignments
for each point, including the name, timeout and “source port”
assignments.
5. Submit the changes to the interface, which will update its internal
configuration file and reboot the unit.
6. Download a copy of the unit’s configuration file to your PC for backup
purposes
Of course, it is possible to simplify or even eliminate some of these steps by
starting your configuration from a pre-existing point database file (either
downloaded from the internet or previously-created by the user), and then
simply modifying those elements necessary to match your application.
