CHAPTER 4: CSCAN OVER ETHERNET PROTOCOL
4.1 CsCAN over Ethernet Overview
This chapter describes CsCAN TCP Server Communication protocol, also known as CsCAN over
Ethernet protocol.
CsCAN over Ethernet protocol allows a CsCAN Host Programming Tool, such as Cscape, to
access an OCS unit, as though it were connected directly to the OCS programming serial port.
4.2 CsCAN over Ethernet Configuration
The Ethernet Module requires no protocol-specific configuration for CsCAN over Ethernet
protocol. Only the general Ethernet Module Configuration previously described in Chapter 3 is
required. As long as the Ethernet Module has been assigned an IP Address and Net Mask, it will
automatically respond to CsCAN over Ethernet messages sent to it by a PC running Cscape.
To connect Cscape to an OCS unit’s Ethernet Module, using CsCAN over Ethernet protocol,
perform the following two steps:
1. On the main Cscape screen, select the Tools menu > Application Settings >
Communications and then click on Configure button to display Add Target dialog
(Figure 6.1).
