ETC ONE PLUS Network Communicator

 

 

Using PAS Software 

Supplemental PAS software that came with your ETC ONE PLUS can be used 
for configuring the ETC ONE PLUS via the Internet or locally (in Programming 
mode only).  

See  the  “PAS  Getting  Started  Guide”  supplied  on  the  installation  CD  for 

information on how to install PAS on your PC. 

Configuration Database 

To communicate with the ETC ONE PLUS from PAS, create a site database 
for your device. All communication and configuration data for your device will 
be stored in this database. During configuration, store all setups to the site 
database so that PAS recognizes device properties regardless of whether the 
ETC ONE PLUS is online or offline. 

To create a new database for your ETC ONE PLUS: 

1.

 

Select Configuration from the Tools menu, and then click the Sites button 
on the right-hand side. 

 

2.

 

From the “Look in” box, select the directory where the new database will 
be stored. By default, it is the “Sites” directory. Type a site name for your 
device in the “File name” box, click New, and then click OK. 

 

3.

 

On the Instrument 

Setup tab, select “

ETC ONE PLUS

” in the “Model” box.

 

4.

 

Set the device address to 99 unless you have changed the  ETC ONE 
PLUS default address in your device. 

5.

 

If  you  wish  to  add  any  comments  for  your  device,  type  them  into  the 

“Comment” box.

 

Setting up Communications 

Communicating through the Ethernet 

To communicate through the Ethernet port: 

1.

 

On the Instrument Setup tab, select Internet Site. 

2.

 

Click on the Connection tab.  

3.

 

Click on the “IP address” and type in the IP address that you defined in 

Network  Setup  in  your  ETC  ONE  PLUS.  The  factory  set  default  IP 
address is 192.168.0.203.
