TCP/IP Settings
Under the ‘TCP/IP Settings’ tab is information about the ED device. There is also a connection attempt timeout
field. This value is the time that the driver will attempt to connect to the device COM port before giving up.
For example, if this value is set at 5 seconds, the driver will attempt to connect to the COM port for 5 seconds.
If no connection could be made after 5 seconds, then the driver will stop attempting to connect.
If this value is set to 0, the driver will attempt to connect without ever giving up.
Adding a Device by IP Address
You may already know the IP address of the device that you are using. This might be because the device has
had an IP address reserved for it by a system administrator or you are remotely connecting to the device.
Using the IP address of the device, you can add it manually into Boost.IO Manager.
1.
Open Boost.IO Manager by clicking the icon created on the desktop when the application was
installed.
2.
Select ‘Tools’ and then click ‘Add Device Manually’.
