Network Interface Window
This window displays the Network Interface selected for this system.
This window also lets you configure the IP settings for a HIB-IP module (if used).
The Standard version of the MCN Server software supports a single Network Interface. If you need to
support multiple Network Interfaces, you'll need to get the MCN Advanced Server software.
The Network Interface Resource Window includes the following fields:
Name
Network Interface Name (as stored in the database for this system)
Type
Type of Network Interface Module:
Non-IP PCLTA
HIB-232
IP HIB-IP
The settings for Non-IP Network Interfaces are set up with the HWSetup program and stored in
the PC registry. The MCN Server program will get that information from the registry when it
runs.
The settings for the IP Network Interfaces (HIB-IP) are set up in the MCNConfig program and
saved in the database for the MCN system. You will also use the settings stored in the system
database to program the HIB-IP unit (through a COM port).
Address
This is used only for Non-IP Network Interfaces.
It is a pointer to the Non-IP Network Interface that is set up with the HWSetup program.
It will normally be "MCN1".
Group
MCN Group Number for this module (Hex value 00-FE)
This is shown only for HIB-IP units (which are configured in MCNConfig program).
Module
MCN Module Number for this module (Hex value 0-F)
This is shown only for HIB-IP units (which are configured in MCNConfig program).
MCN Group & Module Settings
All Network Interfaces and MCN modules must have unique addresses.
In addition, in Custom Engineered systems with Routers and EXB Network Extenders, there
may be specific Group & Module addresses that must be used with particular Network
Interfaces, depending on their location in the MCN network.
If you have a Custom Engineered System, be sure to consult your custom system configuration
documentation for the proper setting for the Group & Module addresses for your Network
Interfaces.
