If you do not Apply the changes, you will be prompted to Apply, Ignore, or
Cancel the changes.
5. You may need to perform some of the following tasks to complete the driver
configuration process.
• You can now configure the DeviceMaster to operate in IP Mode using the
next subsection.
• Configure device properties, see Configuring Device Properties on Page 38.
• Configure COM port properties, see Configuring COM Port Properties on
Page 41.
• Configure any of the DeviceMaster ports as sockets, see Configuring
DeviceMaster Ports as Sockets on Page 50.
Using IP Mode and Enabling SSL
After associating the DeviceMaster with the MAC address you can set the
DeviceMaster to run in IP Mode.
1. First associate a MAC address (Page 34) to the DeviceMaster.
2. Highlight the DeviceMaster.
3. If the DeviceMaster is not on the same network segment, enter the IP address
of the DeviceMaster in the IP Mode text box.
If the DeviceMaster is on the same network segment, the driver populates the
IP Mode text box with the DeviceMaster IP address.
4. Click the IP Mode radio button.
5. Optionally, click Enable SSL Mode or go to Step 8 .
The DeviceMaster must be configured using IP Mode before you can Enable
SSL Mode. If SSL Mode is enabled, TCP connections that carry data to/from
the serial ports are encrypted using SSL or TLS security protocols. This
includes the following:
• TCP connections to the per-serial-port TCP ports (default is 8000, 8001,
8002, ...) are encrypted using SSL/TLS.
