CHAPTER 5 • USING CLICK SUPERVISOR 33
3 Click on the device you’d like to connect to and hit Select. After downloading the com-
munication file, the program will return you to the Click Supervisor main screen.
Note
After connecting, you may see a dialog box asking if you’d like to upgrade. Each ver-
sion of Click Supervisor has the newest firmware for all the Click devices, and when it
connects to a device it will check to see if the firmware in the program is newer than
that in the device. If it is, you will see the dialog box. If you’d like to upgrade your
device with the newest firmware, click
Yes.
IP Communication
The second section on the Communication screen is IP Communication. To connect to
the devices on your network, first enter the IP address assigned to the Click 301 (or other
Ethernet communication device connected to your modules), then enter the port number.
The default port number for the Click 301, as well as many other such devices, is 10001. The
default IP address is 172.16.0.13.
Once a connection is made, Click Supervisor will remember the information so you don’t
have to type it the next time.
Connecting to a Device
As with a serial connection, you must choose which device Click Supervisor will connect
to. There are two ways to select which device to talk to.
Follow these steps if you know the Click ID number of the device:
1 Enter the five-digit ID number in the Click ID text field, either by typing or by using
the arrows to the right of the box.
2 Click Connect. After downloading the communication file, the program will return
you to the Click Supervisor main screen.
Note
You can find the Click ID number of your device by looking at the number beneath
the barcode. The ID number is the last five digits of this number. Each device on a rail
must have a unique number. The number it’s been assigned should be unique, but if
it is not, you can change it after connecting to the device. See that device’s chapter in
Part II of this guide for more information.
