SocketServer Overview
SocketServer is the name of the TCP/IP socket web page that is integrated in the
firmware that comes pre-installed on your DeviceMaster 500.
If you want to use any of the ports as COM or tty ports, you should first install and
configure the NS-Link device driver for your operating system, and then configure
the ports that you want to use as TCP/IP sockets. When you install an NS-Link
device driver, an NS-Link version of SocketServer loads on the DeviceMaster 500.
See Device Driver Installation
on Page 25 for device driver installation procedures.
The main SocketServer web page provides access to configure:
• Socket port characteristics for:
- Serial
-TCP connection
-UDP connection
See SocketServer Architecture
on Page 38 for more information about socket
port support.
• Network settings (after initial configuration)
• Email notification services
• RFC1006 (ISO over TCP)
Note: For socket service configuration procedures, see the web page Help system or
the PortVision Plus Help system.
