B: Network Configuration Using UDP
XPress™ DR Industrial Device Server User Guide 74
3. At the prompt, enter GC followed by a carriage return. The device server will respond with its
setup record in Intel Hex format.
4. Copy the setup record into a text file and save it for future use.
To request the setup record of a properly configured device server via another device server on
the network:
1. Make sure that both units are plugged onto the network properly.
2. Enter Monitor Mode (with network support enabled) on the unit that is not properly
configured. (see 11: Monitor Mode)
3. Issue the command GC x.x.x.x followed by a carriage return, where x.x.x.x is the IP address
of the properly configured device. The properly configured device will respond by sending its
setup record to the unit you are currently on. This configuration will be displayed in Intel HEX
format.
4. Copy that HEX string, and then issue the command SC. Now paste the copied string.
To build the setup record in software:
1. Create a 120-byte setup record.
2. Convert it to an Intel Hex record (see The Intel Hex Format).
3. Copy the setup record into a text file and save it for future use.
To request the setup record of a properly configured device server via UDP:
1. Configure a device server with the desired parameters and place it on the network.
2. From a host PC, send the F8 datagram to the device server (see Network Configuration
Using UDP). The device server responds with the F9 datagram, which includes its setup
record.
3. Send a previously saved setup record from a host PC via UDP.
Sending a Setup Record
There are also a number of ways to send a setup record to a device server:
Send a previously saved setup record via Monitor Mode (easiest method).
Send the setup record of a properly configured device server to another device server on the
network.
Send a previously saved setup record from a host PC via UDP.
To send a setup record via Monitor Mode:
1. Configure a “master” device server with the desired parameters and place it on the network.
2. Place another device server (the “target”) on the network.
3. Enter Monitor Mode (with network support enabled) on the master device server (see
11: Monitor Mode.)
4. At the prompt, enter SC, the IP address of the target, and a carriage return.
5. Send the setup record to the target device server.
