SOX communication with network/nodes

6.3.2 SOX communication with network/nodes
Depending on the hardware of the XMP1 Access Point, communication
between the SOX and network can take place in different ways.
• Directly via TCP/IP using an Ethernet adapter or CU-E on XMP1
Central Units (62.7040.xxx) or
• using the XmpIpDrv software undertaking a TCP/IP to RS232
conversion. This XmpIpDrv software is operated in addition to the SOX
software on the same PC and permits direct access to the node via a
serial interface (RS232 connection).
— However, using the same XmpIpDrv software, a remote PC can
provide a RS232 connection to a node or network connected. In
this case the PC requires a TCP/IP connection and is addressed
via an IP address.
The different connection options are described in the following sections.
6.3.2.1 Connection of SOX via TCP/IP
The SOX can be connected directly or via an LAN to the Ethernet adapter.
The Ethernet adapter/CU-E is located on the Central Unit (> version 3.0).
Direct connection to the Ethernet adapter
In this case the PC is connected directly to X20 of the Ethernet
adapter/CU-E by means of a connecting cable. X20 is a shielded 8-pin RJ45
female connector.
The Ethernet adapter/CU-E must be assigned an IP address.
An Access Point must be configured in the SOX and assigned the following
attributes:
Host name: Enter the IP address of the Ethernet adapter/CU-E.
IP port number: Enter "direct IP node".
Priority: No entry, since there is only one Access Point.
