Uploading SocketServer
Use this section to upload a new version of SocketServer on the DeviceMaster 500
using PortVision Plus. Technical Support recommends updating SocketServer
before initial device driver installation to avoid configuration problems.

.
2.
Right-click the DeviceMaster 500 for which you want to update, click Upload
Firmware, browse to the SocketServer .bin file, and then click Open.
3.
Click Yes to the Upload Firmware message that warns you that this is a
sensitive process.
It may take a few moments for the firmware to upload onto the device. The
device will reboot itself during the upload process.
4.
Click Ok to the advisory message about waiting to use the device until the
status reads ON-LINE. In the next polling cycle, PortVision Plus updates the
List View pane and displays the new SocketServer version.
You are now ready to complete the DeviceMaster 500 configuration by installing a
device driver and/or configuring sockets, depending on your environment.
Go to
on Page 25 to locate information about installing
the NS-Link device driver for Windows (COM ports) or Linux (tty ports) with
socket support.
If you want to use any of the ports as COM or tty ports, you should install the NS-
Link driver first, and then configure the ports that you want to use as TCP/IP
sockets.
If you do not plan on using an NS-Link driver, go to
Page 37 for information about configuring sockets.
