Connecting to the 8685’s Ethernet Port or RS-232 Port Using
TCP/IP
You can connect a terminal emulation application that supports the TCP/IP protocol
to the 8685 via its RS-232 or Ethernet ports. This is mainly useful when interfacing
the 8685 to third-party automation systems that support TCP/IP. If such an automa-
tion system only supports ASCII serial commands, you must configure the 8685’s se-
rial port as described in Connecting via the RS-232 Port Using a Terminal Program on
a PC on page2-46.
• If
you wish to use the RS-232 port for this application or for connecting to 8685
PC Remote software running on a PC, the port must be configured as D
IRECT or
M
ODEM, either of which will load the port’s PPP driver following a reboot.
If you will be using Ethernet, the RS-232 configuration does not matter.
A) From the main menu,
LOCATE to SYSTEM SETUP > NETWORK REMOTE > NETWORK.
The current setting of the RS-232 Serial Port will appear. Set it to D
IRECT.
(MODEM will also work.)
If you plan to connect the 8685 PC Remote Application to the 8685’s RS-
232 serial port, you must choose D
IRECT or MODEM as appropriate for the
kind of connection you are planning to make — D
IRECT for a null modem
cable connection to a PC’s RS-232 serial port and M
ODEM for a modem
connection. Either choice will cause the 8685’s PPP serial port driver to be
loaded the next time the 8685 is booted up.
B) If you have changed the configuration of the RS-232 from ASCII, you must
power-cycle the 8685. It will reboot and load the new serial driver.
• You can connect a terminal emulation application to the 8685’s Ethernet or RS-
232 Serial ports via TCP/IP, port 23 (which is the standard Telnet port and the
8685 factory default). When connected like this, you can:
• recall Presets (which contain the settings that determine the “sound” of the
processing); see step 1 on page 2-47
• recall Setups (which contain technical settings for
input levels, output levels,
routing, etc.); see step 2 on page 2-48
However, you cannot perform other administrative functions.
These require op-
erating the 8685 from its front panel (which is the most straightforward way), us-
ing 8685 PC Remote software, or connecting a terminal program to the RS-232
