Configuring the DCS 30X
The DCS 30X supports and manages communications with other devices in the UDP
Plus network. When you install and configure the DCS 30X, you identify the host
computers and 2435 terminals in your network. The terminals communicate using a
reliable RF protocol (UDP Plus) to the DCS 30X. The DCS 30X translates UDP Plus to
a reliable wired protocol (TCP/IP) and sends the data to the host. For more information,
see the user’s manual for the DCS 30X.
Note:
You can use a 2435 running TCP/IP and the DCS 30X in a pass-through network.
You establish a direct TCP/IP socket connection from the 2435 to the host through the
server.
To allow the 2435 to communicate with the DCS 30X, you must perform these tasks on
the server:
•
Define the host communications parameters, which includes the physical
connection (network adapter cards) to the host.
•
Configure the UDP Plus network.
•
Assign an IP address to each 2435. If your DCS 30X is operating as a DHCP
(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, you also can leave the default
terminal IP address as 0.0.0.0 to enable the 243X as a DHCP client. The 243X can
receive terminal IP addresses dynamically from the DHCP server. For help, see
“DHCP (Terminal)” in Chapter 6 of the 2400 Family system manual.
•
Enable all 2435 terminals.
•
Define the host environment parameters, which includes configuring for terminal
emulation or client/server applications.
To use dcBrowser, you do not define the host environment parameters. You must
•
create an HTML application.
•
configure the dcBrowser gateway.
Configuring the Access Points
Access points act as bridges to provide communications between the wired network and
the RF (UDP Plus or TCP/IP) networks. After you configure the network, you can
collect data anywhere within range of the access points in the wireless network. When
you move out of range of one access point, the 2435 automatically searches for other
access points to continue the network connection.
