Checking the SocketServer Version
Checking the SocketServer Version
refers to the web page that is integrated in the firmware that comes pre-installed on your
DeviceMaster platform, which provides an interface to TCP/IP socket mode configuration and services. If you
install an NS-Link device driver, an NS-Link version of SocketServer loads on the DeviceMaster.
Note:
Technical Support recommends that you update to the latest version of SocketServer before installing an
NS-Link device driver or configuring socket ports.
Use the following procedure to check the SocketServer version on the DeviceMaster and check the ftp site for
the latest version.
1.
If necessary, open PortVision DX
(Comtrol > PortVision DX)
or use the desktop shortcut and scan the
network.
2.
Check the SocketServer version number of the
Software Version
for the DeviceMaster.
3.
Check the Comtrol ftp site to see if a later version is available by accessing the ftp subdirectory that
contains the latest version of SocketServer.
•
View an ftp subdirectory that contains the latest version of SocketServer:
downloads.comtrol.com/dev_mstr/rts/software/socketserver
Note:
The DeviceMaster PRO, DeviceMaster RTS, and DeviceMaster Serial Hub all use the same
firmware, although the above paths point to the location of the DeviceMaster RTS file.
