Make appropriate RS232 wiring connections to the RS-232 port of the FS-B-OPC-01. Refer to Section 3 for
more information.
4.3 Set the IP Address
If the FieldServer was not ordered with a Custom Configuration, the IP address is set to automatically update
from any local DHCP server.
If no IP address was ordered, then a standard PC monitor, Keyboard, and Mouse must be connected to the
FS-B-OPC-01 and the IP address set for a normal PC.
Once the IP address is found or assigned, the configuration of the FST OPC Server Configuration Utility must
be changed to match that IP address. Please reference the FS-8707-06 manual for more instruction.
4.4 Change the Configuration File to Meet the Application
The configuration of the FieldServer is provided to the FieldServer’s operating system via a comma-delimited
file called “CONFIG.CSV” which can be accessed from the
Start|Programs|FieldServerTechnologies|Configuration File folder.
If ordered with the FieldServer, the custom configuration is installed; (Reference documentation FS-8790-
XX).
