LOCAL IP PORT An address (for the local ports COM 1 and COM 2) on the
FC-10ETH device that is currently being configured, which
provides a direct route from another Ethernet point application
11 UART SPEED Choose the appropriate baud speed (1200, 2400, 4800, 9600,
19200, 38400, 57600 or 115200)
12 UART PARITY Choose the required parity (None, Odd, Even, Mark or Space)
13 ACTIVE Checkbox When cleared, activates the Passive mode (see Section 4.4.1 )
When selected, activates the Active mode (see Section 4.4.2 )
Note: Only appears for V1 devices, not present for V2 devices
14 DESTINATION IP A 32-binary digit number that identifies the destination
FC-10ETH device in the Ethernet or Internet
15 PORT A pre-assigned address of the destination FC-10ETH device
that provides a direct route to its Transport layer
The Destination Settings area is active only when the Active
Mode check box is selected
4.4 Routing Data
There are two versions of the FC-10ETH, version 1 (V1) and version 2 (V2). The
version is shown on the Device List entry (see item 3 on Figure 8 ).

V1 devices use passive (see Section
4.4.1
) and active ( Section
4.4.2
)
routing modes. The Active checkbox (see item 13 on Figure 8 ) is displayed
only for V1 devices

V2 devices only use the passive routing mode (see Section
4.4.1
). No Active
checkbox is displayed for V2 devices
4.4.1 The Passive Routing Mode for V1 and V2 Devices
In the Passive routing mode, the FC-10ETH never opens the Ethernet
communication first, and only replies to the connection requests coming from the
active remote stations. Serial data that is received at the serial port of the
FC-10ETH, before the remote station contacts the FC-10ETH, is discarded.
In the Passive mode, the FC-10ETH will work with any station on the network that
contacts it (but not more than five stations simultaneously, three via COM 1 and
two via COM 2), as the example in Figure 9 illustrates.
