Search for Servers
Upon opening the ESP Manager software it will automatically
execute Searching Server and search for all reachable ESR90x serial
servers.
Step 4:
To manually initiate a search for servers, click
Searching Servers
(under the
Servers
menu or the icon on the left side of the screen).
The
Search Setup
box will appear.
It provides two options for searching for servers on the network:
ƒ Specify the IP Address of the Serial Server
ƒ Search all reachable servers
Step 5:
Enter the
IP Address
assigned to the desired Serial Server or click
Search all reachable servers,
then
OK. IP Address
is used to find
Serial Server units that are not on the same subnet. (Routers on the
network will block the standard broadcast used to find servers if
Search all reachable servers
is selected.) The user must set an IP
address that conforms to the LAN addressing scheme.
The Searching window is shown until all active Serial Servers on
the LAN are listed in the
Serial Server List
window.
