5. ESERV-10 Configuration
The ESERV-10 must be configured before it can communicate on a network with the serial device.
This configuration is stored in ESERV-10’s nonvolatile memory (except in Ping case). The device
configuration can be carried out either locally or remotely using the following procedures:
Method Description
Viola Configurator
You can manually assign the IP address and device parameters using a
graphical user interface.
You need a PC and the ESERV-10 must be connected to the network or
directly to the PC.
ICMP “Ping”
Assigns a temporary IP address after which Telnet login is available
Telnet Login
You can assign the IP address and other network settings at a command
prompt using a Windows or UNIX-based system.
Serial Port Login
You can manually configure the ESERV-10 through a serial port.
The description of the key parameters of ESERV-10 is given in the Appendix 2. The following
Sections describe how to configure the unit using the procedures mentioned above. It is possible to
change configuration at any time.
Note:
ESERV-10 has easy-to-use security features for protecting unauthorized configuration and
possibility to limit configuration from network. In critical applications it is recommended to
turn these features on.
Configuring Using Viola Configurator
The Viola Configurator is an effective tool to set-up and to control the parameters of the ESERV-10.
In the following it is assumed that you have already defined the device addresses using the Viola
Configurator. If this is not the case or if you are going to configure ESERV-10 device servers
already existing in the network please
run
the Viola Configurator and define the device addresses
by using the procedures described in the previous Chapter. After the address definitions you can
retrieve current parameters of the device by clicking
Retrieve parameters
-icon in the Viola
Configurator’s taskbar.
When Viola Configurator is running, the normal procedure for setting up the parameters consists of
the following steps:
1. Double-click that parameter in the Name column of the Viola Configurator you want to
change. A
Change parameter value window
for that parameter appears.
Example of the window for setting the ESERV’s e-mail address:
2. Enter the value for that parameter or choose it from the options available. Press
OK
.
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 until all the parameters you want to modify are set.
4. Send new parameters to the device by clicking
Send parameters
-icon.
