destination of data can be a virtual COM port in place of a physical
serial port, a FTP client for sending a report, and so on.
General Order of Configuration
For communications devices, interfaces, and TCP/IP-based services,
the general order of configuration is as outlined below. The
configuration order is the same as that of MAWS Lizard configuration
views.
1. Add the communication hardware in the Optional hardware
view. This hardware can either be the Ethernet Communication
Module DSE101 for Ethernet connections or, for modems, the
hardware module to which the modem is connected.
2. For modems, add the communication device and connect it to a
port in the Devices view.
3. For modems, configure the required parameters for your device in
the Device configurations view.
4. Add and configure the interfaces using the communication device
in the Communication interfaces view.
5. Add and configure the TCP/IP-based services using the interface in
the IP Services view.
Network Warnings and Errors
As errors, often without significant functional impact, yet providing
some information about the status of the network connection, occur
quite frequently in IP communications, IP-related runtime warnings are
not shown with the standard warnings command nor indicated by the
command prompt. Use the net warnings command to list the network-
related warnings.
NOTE For Ethernet Communication Module DSE101, no additional device
needs to be added in the Devices view.
