Text-Based Console Configuration
Basic unit configuration is performed via a text-based console interface,
available locally over the RS232 port via a standard PC terminal program such
as Microsoft Windows HyperTerminal®, or over Ethernet via a Telnet session.
The unit also provides initial configuration access via ICMP (“ping”)
configuration.
Macromedia® Flash-Enabled Embedded Web Server
Advanced unit configuration and point monitoring/control are also provided via
an embedded web server using the HTTP protocol. The unit’s web server
feature provides direct data access and control via standard web browsers such
as Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator. The latest version of
Macromedia Flash Player browser plug-in is required.
Configuration File Upload/Download
A unit’s configuration can be uploaded from / downloaded to a PC, which
provides the capability for PC-based file backup and easy configuration copying
to multiple units. Sample configuration files and related documentation can
also be downloaded from our web site, uploaded to a unit, and custom-modified
to suit a specific application.
Network Timeout Action
A per-port and per-point 2-level configurable network timeout action can be
programmed that allows each internal point to have its own unique “fail-safe”
condition in the event of a network interruption.
