7.1.1 Select a Station in Your Network
When you perform a configuration via TCP/IP or a configuration via H1 the Select a
Station in Your Network window opens.
All stations with an arrow (->) at the beginning of the row are currently online in the
network. They are detected automatically by NetCon. The software displays all echo
devices and PCs with servers.
NOTE:
Stations connected behind a router cannot be discovered automatically. For these, you
need to define a direct connection using the New button.
Selecting the desired station
When you double-click the desired station (or click the OK button), NetCon will
connect to the corresponding station. The connection attempt has a timeout of about
3 seconds.
Successful connection: the Connections main window opens.
Unsuccessful connection: If there is no reply from the station within 3 seconds, the
connection attempt aborts.
New
If the station is not listed in the automatic online display (parameterization via IP)
because it is located outside your network, you can click this button to configure a
direct connection to this station in the Edit Access to a Station in Your List.
Edit
Using this button, you can change the parameters for the station you created using
the Edit Access to a Station in Your List dialog box.
Delete
Using this button, you can delete the parameters for the station. A prompt asks you to
confirm that you really want to delete the parameters. Deletions cannot be undone.
Scan for stations
Starts the station scan and the automatic discovery of online stations and servers.
This scan will only find stations that are accessible in the local network.
Execute station scan on start
Automatically starts the station scan when you open the dialog box. Since this may
take a long time if many stations are online, you can disable this function.
Use Timeout
It is recommended to enable this option only if the default connection timeout is too
short or the transmission is very slow. By default, this function is disabled.
Timeout
You can use the connection timeout option to change the default timeout (3 seconds)
specifically for this connection. This is useful e.g. for Internet connections for which
heartbeat monitoring (sending of life time acks) has been disabled. This also increases
the response time in case of connection problems (such as a broken cable).
