Appendix B. Reference
Appendix B.1. Working with the Driver Manuals
Appendix B.1.1. Introduction
The purpose of the Driver Manual is to provide driver specific configuration information. When drivers are
installed in the FieldServer the specific combination is assigned a Driver Configuration Code (DCC). The DCC covers
the combination of drivers listed on the cover. In addition to the specific configuration instructions for each driver,
these manuals provide drawings and default configuration files for the combination of drivers.
The Driver Manual contains a section for both the Client and Server side software drivers. Each section of this
supplement is split into two parts. The first describes the hardware and software included with the FieldServer, as
well as providing additional information relating to getting the FieldServer set-up and connected. The next part
discusses the configuration file in detail, and provides all the information needed to configure the driver related
parameters.
Appendix B.1.2. Driver Manuals as Part of the Documentation Set
In order to install and configure the FieldServer, proceed through the instructions in the Start-up Guide. Refer to
the Driver Manual for connection information. If the default file is all that is needed then nothing further is
required, it is already loaded onto the FieldServer. If it is necessary to modify the Configuration Files to suit
specific needs, please refer to Section 2 of this manual for a general overview of the configuration file, and then
refer to the specific driver supplements for configuration information on the drivers.
