Initial Configuration
Checking the SocketServer Version
SocketServer is integrated in the firmware that comes pre-installed on your
DeviceMaster 500 platform, which provides an interface to TCP/IP socket mode
configuration and services.
Comtrol recommends verifying that your DeviceMaster 500 contains the latest
SocketServer version before installing the device driver or configuring socket ports
to avoid installation problems.
Use the following procedure to check the SocketServer version on the
DeviceMaster 500.
1. If necessary, start PortVision Plus and scan the network.
2. Check the SocketServer version number of the Software Version for the
DeviceMaster 500.
3. Check the Comtrol web site to see if a later version
is available.
4. If the version on the web site is later than the version on the DeviceMaster
500, download the file and then go to Uploading SocketServer
on Page 23.
If the SocketServer version on the DeviceMaster 500 is current, you are ready
to install an NS-Link device driver for tty or COM ports, or you are ready to
configure the sockets. Use the appropriate discussion to complete the
DeviceMaster 500 configuration process.
