The Hardware Version number of the serial server hardware is displayed on the
Login page of Vlinx Manager.
INTER-CHARACTER TIMEOUT
Inter-character Timeout controls the maximum duration between received
characters before sending the characters to the network. Larger values may decrease
the number of network packets, but increase the amount of time to receive
characters. Smaller values may increase the number of network packets, but
decrease the amount of time to receive characters. The range is 1 through 65535.
IP ADDRESS
Software or hardware attempting to access the serial server via the network must
know the IP Address of the server. In DHCP mode (factory default), the serial server
requests and receives a dynamic IP address from a DHCP server when it first
connects to the network. If there is not a DHCP Server on your network, this device
will automatically default to IP Address 169.254.102.39. If the serial server is unable
to connect to your network using this address, there are two methods to manually
configure the IP Address.
1. Method One: Change your PC Network to Match the Serial Server
a. Open the network connection on your PC
b. Click on Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click .
Change the parameters to the following:
IP Address = 169.254.102.1
Subnet Mask = 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway = 169.254.102.100
