Chapter 3. Initial Configuration
If you used the rotary switch to set the IP address (
2.1. Setting the Rotary Switch
on Page 7), then you still
must configure the upper 9 digits (24 bits) of the IP address using PortVision DX or the web interface. You
may want to install PortVision DX to access and manage your IO-Link Masters.
This section discusses IP address configuration options using one of these methods:
•
PortVision DX
(below)
•
Use the web page, if you want to configure the following:
-
Host name
-
DNS servers
-
Syslog Server IP/Host name

Note: You can use PortVision DX to configure the IP address information and then use the web interface
to configure the options not configurable in PortVision DX.
In addition, this section discusses setting up
through the web interface.
After you configure the network settings, you can configure the port characteristics, refer to

3.1.1. PortVision DX Overview
PortVision DX automatically detects Comtrol Ethernet attached products physically attached to the local
network segment so that you can configure the network address, upload firmware, access product
configuration web pages, and manage the following products:
•
DeviceMaster family
•
IO-Link Master
•
RocketLinx managed switches
In addition to identifying Comtrol Ethernet attached products, you can use PortVision DX to display any
third-party switch and hardware that may be connected directly to those devices. All non-Comtrol products
and unmanaged RocketLinx devices are treated as non-intelligent devices and have limited feature support.
For example, you cannot configure or update firmware on a third-party switch.
After PortVision DX is installed and the network has been scanned for Comtrol devices, the devices are
