Section 10. Utilities
10.3.2 Main DevConfig Screen
The DevConfig window is divided into two main sections: the device selection
panel on the left side and tabs on the right side. After choosing a device on the
left, you will then have a list of the serial ports (COM1, COM2, etc.) installed
on your PC. If the device supports IP communication, the Use IP Connection
check box will be enabled. In order to communicate via IP, click on the Use IP
Connection check box and enter the IP address or domain name for the device
in the Communication Port field. For some devices, you may be able to click
on the browse button to the right of the Communication Port control to bring
up a dialog that searches your local area network for any available devices. If
the device has a TCP Password, you will need to enter it in the TCP Password
field. You’ll be offered a choice of baud rates only if the device supports more
than one baud rate in its configuration protocol. The page for each device
presents instructions about how to set up the device to communicate with
DevConfig. Different device types will offer one or more tabs on the right.
When the user presses the Connect button, the device type, serial port, and
baud rate selector controls become disabled and, if DevConfig is able to
connect to the device, the button will change from “Connect” to “Disconnect”.
The tabs on the right side of the window will be replaced with tabs that
represent the various operations that are available for that device in a connected
state. These operations can vary from device to device.
