8.1.3 Connection
Connection options are used to open or close a communication connection between
the workstation and the MSE 1000 modules.
Disconnect The Disconnect option will close the communication connection between the
workstation and the MSE 1000 modules. MSEsetup can still be used for viewing
logs, configuring network settings, and modifying MSEsetup configurations when
disconnected. This choice is not available if a successful Broadcast has not been
performed.
To Disconnect:
Press the «Disconnect» button.
A message verifying the connection status is displayed in the Connect screen
message area.
Reconnect The Reconnect option will attempt to open a communication connection between
the workstation and the MSE 1000 modules based on the last known module chain
configuration. This choice is not available if a successful Broadcast has not been
performed.
To reconnect:
Press the «Reconnect» button.
A message verifying the connection status is displayed in the Connect screen
message area.
Broadcast The Broadcast option sends out a Limited or Directed broadcast requesting a
connection with the MSE 1000 modules. A limited broadcast sends out a connection
request over all connected networks using the IP limited broadcast address of
255.255.255.255. A directed broadcast sends out a connection request to the
subnetwork selected in Workstation IP. A limited broadcast is sent by default.
A directed broadcast is recommended when multiple networks are
connected to a single switch. If a limited broadcast is sent, each module will
respond multiple times and cause an incorrect number of modules to be
found.
