Step 3: Configuring the Ethernet Connection Type
Before beginning:
1.
Verify the TPI/4 has been configured to communicate through an Ethernet cable connected from the
rear of the TPI/4 to a valid Ethernet Hub.
•
URL
(
Uniform Resource Locator
) is the address that defines the route to a file on the Web or
any other Internet facility.
In this system, the panel acts as a "Client" and the Master acts as a Server (in that Clients attach
to it).
•
LISTEN
sets the TPI/4 to "listen" for broadcasts from the Master (using the panel IP from its URL
list). In this system, the TPI/4 acts as a "Server" (in that Clients attach to it) and the Master acts as
a "Client".
•
AUTO
is used to instruct the TPI/4 to search for a Master that uses the same System Number
(assigned within the Master Connection section) and resides on the same Subnet as itself. In this
case, the Master has its UDP feature enabled.
This
UDP
(
User Datagram Protocol
) is a protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite that is used in
place of TCP when a reliable delivery is not required.
This UDP enabling is done through a Telnet session on the Master. Refer to the particular NetLinx
Master manual for more detailed information.
When using Ethernet as your communication method, the NetLinx Master must first
be setup with either a Static IP or DHCP Address obtained from either NetLinx Studio
or your System Administrator.
Before commencing, verify you are using the latest NetLinx Master firmware.
