Adding a KEPServerEX Device

In KEPServerEX, a “device” is a single PointScan module (either a PoinScan/100 series device or a

PointScan/200 series device). The steps for adding a device to a KEPServer “channel” are as follows:


(a) Click on the “New Device” button in the upper left hand portion of the KEPServerEX

window. See following figure.

Clicking on the “New Device” Button

(b) In the “New Device - Name” window, enter a device name that follows the stated

guidelines and then click on Next.

(c) In the “New Device - ID” window, enter the following, then click on Next:

If the device is a /100 series PointScan module that is connected to the Ethernet,

enter the IP address of the module that you configured in IOToolKit.

Example for “Dedicated” LAN: 10.1.0.1


Example for “Shared” LAN: 63.66.249.202

In both the “Dedicated” and “Shared” LAN examples, the PointScan/100 series

module was configured as Station 1 in IOToolKit.

If the device is a /200 series PointScan module [or a /100 series module

connected via RS485 communications], enter the IP address of the /100 series

Ethernet module to which it is connected, followed by a decimal point and the
device station number of the module that you configured in IOToolKit

Example for “Dedicated” LAN: 10.1.0.1.2

Example for “Shared” LAN: 63.66.249.202.2


In both the “Dedicated” and “Shared” LAN examples, the “.2” signifies that the

PointScan module is station number 2 in a string of modules connected via RS485.
