3.2 Configuration
The ADAM-4572 provides easy configuration by Windows utility
through Ethernet connection. This Windows utility searches all the
ADAM-4572 devices on the network automatically and you can config-
ure various parameters for TCP/IP configuration easily. For secure ad-
ministration, it can also restrict the access right for configuration to only
one host PC to enhance network security. With this secure function
enabled, other PCs will not have access right for configuration. The
Windows utility consists of four functional categories: System, Network,
Port and Modbus, which are presented on the toolbar of the configura-
tion utility.
3.2.1 System Configuration
Configuration utility can only search the ADAM-4572 devices on the
local network segment and cannot search beyond a router or gateway.
Therefore, before you set up the network, you have to make sure that all
the ADAM-4572 devices that you want to monitor must reside on the
same local network segment with the host PC.
