Configuring the Ethernet Port

The MS-Connect 210's Ethernet Port behaves as an EtherNet/IP or TCP server device capable of communicating with one or more serial devices. The port is identified as an EtherNet/IP communication adapter. The interface is designed to support remote serial transmit and receive using Explicit and I/O messaging. The port converts EtherNet/IP communication from TCP/IP and UDP to the serial interface.

The Ethernet Port has the following features:

• Supports one EtherNet/IP I/O connection and two EtherNet/IP TCP connections.

• Serial buffer status updated on the I/O connection.

• Serial master command-response handling with one request.

• Packing parameters available in each read request.

• Serial-configurable and Telnet-configurable.

• Internal TFTP server to upload new firmware.

• Supports BOOTP.
