Hot Configuration
The Omron Ethernet DAServer is hot-configurable. The following hot-configuration
functionality is incorporated in Omron Ethernet DAServer:
• Modifying Global Configuration parameters.
• Adding, deleting, or modifying device nodes (without affecting any other device nodes,
excluding the children of the modified device nodes).
• Adding, deleting, or modifying device groups.
Limited support is provided for the hot configuration for the server-specific configuration
parameters in this release. You can modify server-specific parameters while the server is
active. However, to have those changes take effect, you have to restart the DAServer.
Note: If changes are made to server-specific parameters while the server is active, the
DAServer will issue a warning message to the logger.
