IPScom Installation and Setup
IPScom runs with the Microsoft Windows
®
2000
operating system or later. IPScom is available on
CD‑ROM, or may be downloaded from our website
at www.beckwithelectric.com
The S‑3400 IPScom Communications Software is
not copy‑protected. For more information on your
specific rights and responsibilities, see the licensing
agreement enclosed with your software or contact
Beckwith Electric.
Hardware Requirements
IPScom will run on any IBM PC‑compatible
computer that provides at least the following:
• 8 MB of RAM
• Microsoft Windows 2000 or later
• CD‑ROM drive
• one serial (RS‑232) communication port
• pointing device (mouse)
Installing IPScom
1. Insert software CD‑ROM into your drive.
An Auto‑Install program will establish
a program folder (Becoware) and
subdirectory (IPScom). After installation,
the IPScom program item icon (see
Figure 5‑22) is located in Becoware. The
default location for the application files
is on drive C:, in the new subdirectory
“IPScom” (C:\Becoware\IPScom).
Figure 5‑22 IPScom Program Icon
2. If the Auto‑Install program does not
launch when the CD‑ROM is inserted
into the drive then proceed as follows:
a. Select Run from the Start Menu.
b. In the Run dialog screen, locate the
installation file (setup.exe) contained
on the IPScom installation disk.
c. Select Run to start the installation
process.
5.8
Activating Initial Local
Communications
The relay and IPScom Communications Software
are shipped from the factory with the same default
communication parameters. Therefore, it may not
be necessary to set up communication parameters.
In order for IPScom to communicate with the relay
using direct serial connection, a serial “null modem”
cable is required, with a 9‑pin connector (DB9P)
for the relay, and an applicable connector for the
computer (usually DB9S or DB25S). Pin‑outs for a
null modem adapter are provided in
Appendix B
,
Communications
.
Activating initial communications using default
communication parameters is accomplished as
follows:
1.
Verify that a direct serial connection
between the PC hosting IPScom and the
target relay COM1 (front) is in place.
2.
Select the IPScom icon (Figure 5‑22)
from the Becoware folder or Desktop.
The IPScom
Main Screen
(Figure 3‑2)
is displayed.
3.
Select the
Connect
menu item. IPScom
will display the
Serial Port Dialog
Screen
(Figure 3‑6).
4.
If the computer is connected through
either an RS‑232 port or RS‑485 port
perform the following:
a. Select the
PC Comm Port
that is
connected to the relay.
b. Select
Connect
. This action
attempts to establish
communication.
5.
If IPScom returns a “COM Opened and
Level #(1, 2 or 3) access granted” then
communications have been established.
Enter any valid IPScom command(s) as
desired. To close the communication
channel when connected locally, select
the
Communication/Disconnect
from
the main screen menu bar.
