3 Click on the device you’d like to connect to and hit Select. Aer downloading the com-
munication le, the program will return you to the Click Supervisor main screen.
Note
After connecting, you may see a dialog box asking if you’d like to upgrade. Each ver-
sion of Click Supervisor has the newest firmware for all the Click devices, and when it
connects to a device it will check to see if the firmware in the program is newer than
that in the device. If it is, you will see the dialog box. If you’d like to upgrade your
device with the newest firmware, click Yes.
IP Communication
e second section on the Communication screen is IP Communication. To connect to
the devices on your network, rst enter the IP address assigned to the Click 301 (or other
Ethernet communication device connected to your modules), then enter the port number.
e default port number for the Click 301, as well as many other such devices, is 10001. e
default IP address is 172.16.0.13.
Once a connection is made, Click Supervisor will remember the information so you don’t
have to type it the next time.
Connecting to a Device
As with a serial connection, you must choose which device Click Supervisor will connect
to. ere are two ways to select which device to talk to.
Follow these steps if you know the Click ID number of the device:
1 Enter the ve-digit ID number in the Click ID text eld, either by typing or by using
the arrows to the right of the box.
2 Click Connect. Aer downloading the communication le, the program will return
you to the Click Supervisor main screen.
Note
You can find the Click ID number of your device by looking at the number beneath
the barcode. The ID number is the last five digits of this number. Each device on a rail
must have a unique number. The number it’s been assigned should be unique, but if
it is not, you can change it after connecting to the device. See that device’s chapter in
Part II of this guide for more information.
