User Manual 245
For a TCP2RS+ device to communicate via a router the following steps must be followed:
1 - In the ‘Address converter‘ field enter the router's IP address.
2 - In the ‘Port” field enter the communications port and redirect this port on the router to the
device's communications port.
3 - Redirect the configuration port on the router to port 80 of the converter.
NOTE: For information on readdressing ports consult the router user manual.
• Parameters: By clicking the button a dialogue box will appear where a number of parameters
of the device can be configured.
Where:
-
IP address: Corresponds to the IP address used to communicate with the device.
-
Subnetwork mask: Corresponds to the subnetwork mask used on the network where the
device is connected
- Predetermined Gateway: Corresponds to the address of the gateway if the device is not on
the same network as the PC containing the program.
- Obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP): This option will be enabled when we want the
device to automatically receive the IP address via a DHCP server.
- Port: Corresponds to the device communications port.
• Advanced configuration: Permits the configuration of a series of additional parameters on
the device. Refer to ‘Editor manual’.
On adding or modifying the device, the software will try to detect it. If it is unable to detect it, if the
device is new or has not been allocated an IP address or has an allocated IP different to that entered in
the ‘Converter Address’, it will ask if you want to assign a new IP address to the converter.
