IAI America XSEL Ethernet - Manual (Page 50)

(9) If a firewall (including the firewall function of virus protection software) is installed in the PC, etc., the
port block must be canceled or the firewall function disabled before a connection can be made.
(This is because the very purpose of firewall software is to block external connection to the
protecting device.)
(10) When the Ethernet option is enabled, the system will detect a “link error” if the connection is not
made using the correct Ethernet cable. Set “I/O parameter No. 10: Standard I/O error monitor” to “0:
Do not monitor” during debugging, teaching or other operation using an SEL program where the
Ethernet cable is not connected.
With this setting, in the online mode errors will not be detected even when the Ethernet cable is
abnormal. If the system will be used in the online mode, set the above parameter to “1: Monitor” or
“2: Monitor (Do not monitor 24 V I/O power error).”
(11) The IP address of the controller itself cannot be specified as the controller’s connection destination.
(Accordingly, a communication test or other operation involving different channels of the same
controller cannot be performed.)
(12) Due to the associated device restrictions, do not set “I/O parameter No. 124: Network attribute 5” to
“2: Client (Specify own port number).”
(13) When a parameter has been changed, always transfer the setting to the controller, write it to the
flash ROM and then reset the software.
(14) If you are contacting IAI to inquire about the encountered problem, please have the following
