• The network information has been configured in the DeviceMaster (Configuring the Network Settings on
Page 38).
• Checked to see if the latest version of SocketServer resides on the DeviceMaster (Checking the
SocketServer Version on Page 41 using PortVision DX or you can open your browser, enter the
DeviceMaster IP address to view the version on the Server Status page.
• If necessary, uploaded the latest version of SocketServer (Uploading SocketServer with PortVision DX on

using an NS-Link version of the SocketServer web page (Socket Port Configuration on Page 61).
