1. Type in the desired Name and Timeout (in milliseconds).
2. In the IP Address text box, enter the IP address. If the IP address is unknown, run the
Device Discovery software
utility. All units found will be identified by their MAC address and the assigned IP address. In the Port Number
box, enter 2101 (the default value).
3. Click [OK] to complete data entry.
IMPORTANT: If you are using Ethernet communications, be sure the GF868 is set up with the default communications
parameters: 9600 baud, no parity, no handshaking, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit. The port number must
match the “Enable Raw TCP access using TCP Port” assignment shown under the Device Discovery “TCP
Server Settings” menu (Configuration>Serial Ports>Port).
