Chapter 4 IA Profiles and Procedures 47
Configuration Options
The serial port connection must be configured for the protocol required by
the master, in this case DF1 Full-Duplex or DF1 Half-Duplex. If the remote
slave supports TCP socket communication, which is the case if the remote
slave is connected to another device server, Digi recommends this option.
For DF1 Full-Duplex users, Allen Bradley Ethernet and Ethernet/IP are
other supported network options.
Locating Setup Information
• To configure the port for DF1 Full-Duplex or DF1 Half-Duplex and
the network for TCP socket communication, see "Configuring a
Serial-Connected Master: TCP/UDP Sockets" on page 50.
• To configure the port for DF1 Full-Duplex and the network for Allen
Bradley Ethernet or Ethernet IP, see "Configuring a Serial-
Connected Master: Generic Procedure" on page 50.
Omron Family Profile: Serial-Connected Slave
About This Profile
Use this profile to connect a slave device (or devices) using one of the
Omron serial port protocols, Hostlink, FINS, or CompoWay/F.
Configuration Options
The serial port connection must be configured for the protocol required by
the slave, Hostlink, FINS, or CompoWay/F.
The network connection usually does not require configuration. The only
exception is if the master requires COM port redirection. In this case, the
master is an application that resides on a PC, such as a Microsoft Windows
system, and communicates only with devices on COM ports.
Locating Setup Information
• To configure the serial port of the device server for any of the Omron
protocols, see "Configuring a Serial-Connected Slave: Generic
Procedure" on page 49.
• To setup a PC and the device server for COM port redirection using
RealPort, see "Setting Up COM Port Redirection" on page 52.
