Appendix 1 - Routing via Ethernet (for AKA only)
Principle
Supermarket chains in some cases etablish their own data com-
munication network VPN (Virtual Private Network) where they
transmit their information.
If ADAP-KOOL
®
refrigeration controls are used in this chain it would
be desirable that ADAP-KOOL
®
also use this network when infor-
mation has to be transmitted from the shops to a common service
centre.
Comparison: the function and the setup are in principle the same
as when it is a modem that has to transmit the information. In this
case the modem has been replaced by a TCP/IP - RS232 converter
and the telephone network by a closed data network.
As shown, access to LAN can also take place via the PC's net card
and the WinSock interface in Windows. (A setup of this function in
AKM is described in the section "Installation of the programme on
the PC". This appendix describes how the setup of the converter
must be made. The converter is DigiOne. Other types cannot be
used at the moment.
Before the converter can be used, an IP address must be set and a
setup file installed in it.
• Take care to set the correct address. It may be difficult to correct it
at a later date.
• All converters be made ready before further setup can be per-
formed.
• Procure IP addresses from the district’s IT department.
• the IP address must be changed in the Port Setup display
Configuration of MSS (previously recommended model)
(Actual "DigiOne" is set from factory).
Configuration can only take place when the converter has had its
IP address set, as described above.
1. Reopen the earlier “Configuration/AKM Setup/Port Setup” menu
2. Select file “MSS_.CFG”
3. Push “Download” (information can be followed in the MSS-COM
window)
4. Finish with OK
The MSS converter is now ready and can be dismounted from the
PC if it is to be used in conjunction with an AKA 245.
1. Setup of TCP/IP converter
Baud rate:
Keep the setting at 9600 baud until the whole system is in place and com-
municates as expected. The setting may subsequently be changed to, say,
38400 baud.
Requirements
