3. After submitting the new parameters, reset the FC-8 by clicking the Reset
iChip link at the bottom of the window. The new window with the message
“iChip is performing reset” opens. Wait about 1 minute and close this new
window.
Note: To start using the new settings, disconnect the wireless connection
from the FC-8 and reconnect it again with new parameters.
Note: If you made changes to the name of the wireless network (Wireless
LAN SSD) after clicking the submit button, the connection with the FC-8 is
lost and the connection error message appears. In this case do not perform
the Reset iChip procedure. Reconnect the FC-8 with the new parameters.
6.4 Configuring an Active Station
The FC-8 can also be configured as an active station to communicate with
another listening station.
To configure an active station:
1. Set the other station as a listener if necessary. (This is the normal default
setting for the FC-8.)
2. In the active station, under Host Server and Port, set the remote IP address
and remote port (example, 192.168.5.10:3000).
3. Click Reset iChip.
4. The actual connection begins when the active station starts transmitting data
on the serial port.
7 Operating the FC-8
After the FC-8 is fully configured it works transparently as a bridge
between the network and the attached device. The attached device can then
be operated using RS-232 serial commands transmitted by a touch screen
system, PC, or other serial controller.
To operate the attached device using serial commands, install Kramer's
control software that can be downloaded from the Kramer Electronics Web
site 1 .
For an explanation of all control commands, see the Kramer Protocol 2000
commands in the User Manual of the attached device.
