OPERATIONS
This iServer can be configured in several ways, depending on user’s preference and
network setup. It can be configured using a Web browser like Chrome, Internet Explorer,
or Firefox to access its Web server. It can also be configured using a TCP connection to
port 2002 using a command line interface. The iConnect Configuration Software can also
be used to find and configure the iServer over the Ethernet.
4.1 SERIAL INTERFACE CONFIGURATION - Communication Protocol
A data communication protocol defines the rules and structure of messages used by all
devices on a network for data exchange. A typical transaction will consist of a request to
send from the MASTER followed by the response from one or more SLAVE devices.
Either a single (point-to-point) or multi-drop network (multi-point) is possible.
