3.4.1
Reading the Remote I/O Network Configuration
(RIODIS)
RIODIS uses the configuration packets in the configuration buffers to
generate a text file which describes the configuration for all the
drops. These configuration packets can either come from the
network or may have been previously placedon the cardby the host.
3.4.2
Setting the Remote I/O Network Configuration
(RIOCNF)
RIOCNF takes a text file which contains the configuration information
for the network andplaces it on the PC Link module. RIOCNF uses
the same text file format as RIODIS.
The following steps describe a typical startup procedure:
Step 1.
Run RIO.BAT to install the RERIO software on the PC Link
module.
Step 2.
Connect the module to the Remote I/O network.
Step 3.
Disconnect the network Master andthen reĆconnect it. The
PC Link module now has the configuration packets for all
real drops.
Step 4.
Use RIODIS to dump the configuration packets to a text
file.
Step 5.
Edit the text file. Add any virtual (active) drops required.
See Figure 1.

Step 6.
Use RIOCNF to configure the module using the text file
previously generated.
