The DeviceInstaller
TM
utility will scan the network and find all connected Lantronix Ethernet devices. This
list of found devices will include any connected AR Ethernet devices. By selecting one of the connected
devices from the list, its IP address and subnet mask can be changed along with a number of other settings.
One should use caution in adjusting any settings he/she is unfamiliar with as doing so may cause the port to
become unresponsive. By default the port for the TCP data channel is 10001.
* DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) is a protocol used to assign a dynamic IP address to
the unit. The network server software assigns an available IP address to the unit when the instrument
is turned on. A different IP address may be assigned at different times.
2.4.6 Remote Commands
All commands are available to the user for remote operation of the amplifier.
If a command is unrecognized it is echoed back out the port it came in on.
•
All commands and queries are terminated with a <LF> .
•
All queries can be sent in Remote or Local mode
•
All commands can only be sent in Remote mode
•
All spaces in commands and queries are indicated by <space>
A COMMUNICATIONS_ERROR<LF> can occur if the time between commands or queries is too short,
or the internal RS-485 link between the IO Board and the Control Board is broken.
The development of application programs requires an understanding of the operation of the amplifier as well
as the intended application.
An application program on the computer/controller should issue only one character string (command or
query) at a time. After each functional command is issued, the amplifier’s status should be checked to ensure
that the command has been properly executed. The application program should allow sufficient time for the
function to be completed before checking the amplifier’s status.
The application program should facilitate the checking of the amplifier’s status just prior to issuing a
command, since the status could have been changed by a fault condition or by operator actions.
Variables represented by wild card characters i.e. x, y, z etc. do not indicate or delimit the number of
characters actually specified.
