5-4 TCP/IP Ethernet Communications User’s Manual – January 1996
GFK-1004B
Note
When you enter the Local Station Manager or the Local Downloader,
the GSM automatically configures COM1 of the PC as follows:
9600 bits per second
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
COM1 will retain this configuration even after exiting the Local Station
Manager or Local Downloader.
B. Network Mode. If you are in Network Mode, you will be prompted to enter the
Station Name or MAC address of the station you want to access.
Accessing the Station Manager Using an ASCII Terminal
1. Connect a serial cable from the ASCII terminal to the 9–pin connector of the
Ethernet Interface. Refer to Appendix B, for instructions on making the cable.
2. Set up the communication parameters of the terminal as follows:
9600 bits per second
8 data bits
No parity
1 stop bit
3. Press the Enter key to see the Station Manager prompt character.
Remote Operation of the Station Manager
The Station Manager commands can be invoked over the network from other GEnet
devices (other Series 90-70 and Series 90-30 PLC Ethernet Interfaces, GE Fanuc CNC
OSI–Ethernet Interfaces, or Series Six PLC LAN Interfaces) by using the REM com-
mand. When invoked remotely, the Station Manager software processes the command
as if it had been entered from a device attached to the serial port but automatically di-
rects output from the command over the LAN to the station which issued the request.
There is no indication on the local station serial device when a remote command is being
processed. Refer to Figure 5–2 for LAN configurations that use remote Station Manager
operations.
Note
Both the local console and any remote access share the same security
level. See the “LOGIN” and “LOGOUT” commands descriptions.
