4.17 Accessing an SLC 5 Processor via Ethernet Using MVI46-DFNT
This section explains how to set up Ethernet access to an SLC 5/03 processor
using the MVI46-DFNT module. Port 2 (middle port) should be connected to the
SLC 5/03 RS-232 port using an RS-232 null modem cable. Optionally you can
use Port 3 to emulate Channel 0 on the SLC. A Master DF1 device can be
attached to Port 3 to monitor and control the SLC data files.
The following network should be used:
Conversion software is required in order to convert serial data to TCP/IP format.
The software will typically select a serial port that is not being used and direct to
it to an IP address and port number (MVI46-DFNT Pass-Through Server).
Perform the following steps to set up your network.
Step 1- Configure the Pass-Through Server
The MVI46-DFNT Pass-Through Server connects a local computer serial port to
the module's Ethernet driver. Refer to the configuration file to configure the
