MaxSSD Configuration & Diagnostics Utility
The Sealevel Systems configuration utility, MaxSSD, is designed to simplify the installation, configuration,
and diagnostics of Sealevel eI/O and Sea I/O modules. MaxSSD is a Microsoft Windows application and
has been tested with Windows 2000, XP, Vista, and Windows 7.

When you run the MaxSSD utility (Start

Configuration Utility) it will default to the “Host PC Configuration” tab. This tab allows the user to choose
the initial communication settings for the connected I/O device. The “COM Port” dropdown box allows the
selection of a serial COM port (from COM1 to COM256), and Ethernet (for Ethernet and Wireless Sealevel
I/O modules).
To communicate with an eI/O module, select “ETHERNET” from the “COM Port” dropdown box. When
Ethernet is selected, MaxSSD searches for any SeaI/O Ethernet or Wireless modules on the network and
displays their IP addresses in the “Available Ethernet Devices” list box (not shown). When an IP address is
selected from the list box, a socket is opened to the SeaI/O module, and it is ready for communication.
