TCP/IP Connection
A TCP/IP network uses an Ethernet
ä network and a serial server device to establish a connection
between the Venus 1500 controller and the displays.
The TCP/IP Address is the address of
the serial server device on the Ethernet
Network. If you are using a Lantronix
ä
serial server, this is the address that was
set on the device when it was configured.
Refer to Daktronics manual ED-9623 for
instructions on configuring the serial
server and assigning a static IP address.
L
Note: This address must match and be configured on both the Venus 1500 software and the
serial server.
Use Default should always be checked
T when using the Lantronix serial server.
The Socket number is only accessible when Use Default is not checked. This field is used to
interface to another serial server device. For information on the socket number, refer to the serial
server’s operation manual to find which socket is used for raw data or RS-232 communication.
L
Note: TCP/IP must be installed and correctly configured for the computer the Venus 1500
software is installed on. The TCP/IP protocol must also be bound to the Ethernet packet/ODI
driver. DHCP is not used. The address of the serial server must be static. Contact your system
administrator to obtain a static IP address and to configure the computer as needed for the display
network.
1. To use this type of connection, click on TCP/IP Networks in the Network Type field, if
