9.9 Ethernet Option
In firmware version 1.03 and later, an optional Ethernet/USB board is supported.
With the Ethernet option installed, the 480 can either be connected directly to a PC via the Ethernet connection, or
to an Ethernet network.
The 480 Ethernet option will support two simultaneous connections, one as a server, the other a client. It can be set
up with a static, or DHCP-provided IP address. Both ports can be used to communicate to the indicator using all the
available serial EDP commands. Both ports can be set to print on demand and can stream data.
The server port has a configurable TCP port number, and can accept a single remote client connection.
The client port can be configured to connect to a remote server’s IP and TCP port number upon power up, or
whenever there is data to send.
Connection is made via a RJ45 connector inside the indicator on the Ethernet/USB option board.
For details on all the configurable parameters for the optional Ethernet ports, see Section 3.1.3 on page 28.
