Using Ethernet Communications on the Terminal
Before you can begin using the 2461 terminal to collect data, you need to install and
configure each device in the Ethernet network by performing these steps:
1. Plan and prepare your network. Make sure you have unique IP addresses for all
devices in the network. Make sure you have all the equipment required to use the
2461.
2. Configure the DCS 300 (2461 with UDP Plus).
3. Configure each 2461 terminal.
Each step is described in detail in the next sections.
