5.2.2 Viewing remote nodes connected over Ethernet (optional)
When a remote node such as MicroFlex e100 is connected to the NextMove e100 using
Ethernet, it is possible to view the connection in MMC. The PC is able to connect to the
remote node, even though the PC only has a physical USB connection to the
NextMove e100. This feature is known as ‘redirection’, and simplifies configuration of
multiple controllers on an Ethernet / EPL network.
For the following procedure, it is essential that the NextMove e100’s node ID selector
switches are not set to F0. Although F0 is the correct node ID to make the NextMove e100
an EPL manager node, the remote nodes have not yet been configured for EPL operation so
will be ignored if the NextMove e100 is operating as a manager node. In this example,
communications will use standard Ethernet, not EPL.
1. In the controller pane, ensure that Host is
selected. In the information pane, click
Scan.
2. When the search is complete, click once on
the ‘Ethernet’ entry underneath the
‘NextMove e100’ entry.
3. In the information pane, select the Scan for
single node option.
Enter the remote node’s node ID in the
adjoining box.
Click Refresh.
4. In the controller pane, the remote node
should now be displayed on the
NextMove e100’s Ethernet connection.
