Upon selecting the desired TACP, the corresponding module’s
IP Address
will
be displayed. Make sure the modules shown are the ones you are going to
connect to and they are set with the correct
IP Address
. If not, return to the
I
P
Table Editor
to update the IP address. Or modify the IP address on the modules
(refer to Appendix C for instructions on how to change the module IP).
Connect the Ethernet cable between the TACP and the modules. During multiple
IP connection, the Ethernet switch/hub is required.
Click the
Connect
button
when everything is ready.
Each IP connection will take about four seconds so the total connection time
when connecting to seven IPs may take up to 30 seconds. When the connection is
set, the
Status
column will change from
Off-line
to
OK
.
NOTE:
A serial port connection will not perform the connection check.
If after 30 seconds has elapsed and the connection still cannot be set, try again by
clicking the
Connect
button. Or, click
Quit
to exit and check the physical IP
setup.
