Microsoft Network Administration
Verify in Network Neighborhood that the le serving computer can be seen on
the network from another computer. Double Click on the server name icon in
Network Neighborhood. Verify that the folder is seen for that computer name
(The folder name should be the name entered in Setting 139) on the CNC.
Verify the le serving computer privileges to this folder are shared. (Not READ
ONLY; which is a typical default).
Verifying the networking is functioning (available only on TCP/IP networks)
Turn DHCP to OFF.
Enter the Static IP address-Setting 902 and Subnet Mask-Setting 903 press
F1. Go to a computer on the network. Go to DOS (E.g. MS DOS Command
Prompt) and at the DOS prompt type in “Ping” and the same information which
was typed into Setting 902.

Machine Data Collection is enabled by Setting 143, which allows the user to
extract data from the control using a Q command sent through the RS-232 port
(or by using an optional hardware package). This feature is software-based and
requires an additional computer to request, interpret and store data from the
control. Certain Macro variables can also be set by the remote computer.
Data Collection Using the RS-232 Port
The control only responds to a Q command when Setting 143 is ON. The fol-
lowing output format is used:
<STX> <CSV response> <ETB> <CR/LF> <0x3E>
STX (0x02) marks the start of data. This control character is for the remote
computer.
CSV is the Comma Separated Variables, one or more data variables separated
by commas.
ETB (0x17) is the end of the data. This control character is for the remote com-
puter.
