Galil DMC-2X00 - Manual (Page 30)

Using Non-Galil Communication Software
The DMC-2x00 main serial port is configured as DATASET. Your computer or terminal must be
configured as a DATATERM for full duplex, no parity, 8 data bits, one start bit and one stop bit.
Check to insure that the baud rate switches have been set to the desired baud rate as described above.
Your computer needs to be configured as a "dumb" terminal which sends ASCII characters as they are
typed to the DMC-2x00.
Communicating through the Universal Serial Bus (USB)
NOTE: Galil Software only supports the use of the USB port under Windows 98SE, ME, 2000 and
XP.
Connect the USB cable from the computer to the USB IN port on the controller. Since the controller
has been powered on in the previous step, the computer will recognize the first connection to a Galil
USB controller. The computer will identify the USB controller and add it to the Windows Registry as
a plug and play device.
Communicating through the Ethernet
Using Galil Software for Windows
The controller must be registered in the Windows registry for the host computer to communicate with
it. The registry may be accessed via Galil software, such as WSDK or SmartTERM.
From WSDK, the registry is accessed under the FILE menu. From Smart TERM it is accessed under
the TOOLS menu. Use the NEW CONTROLLER button to add a new entry in the registry. Choose
DMC-2100 or DMC-2200 as the controller type. Enter the IP address obtained from your system
administrator. Select the button corresponding to the UDP or TCP protocol in which you wish to
communicate with the controller. If the IP address has not been already assigned to the controller,
click on ASSIGN IP ADDRESS.
ASSIGN IP ADDRESS will check the controllers that are linked to the network to see which ones do
not have an IP address. The program will then ask you whether you would like to assign the IP
