23. From the Global Output Words drop-down, select the default number of global
output data words to be transmitted by this adapter card.
Note
By default, the driver will not transmit any global output data until a user application
writes to the global output data buffer. However, the driver can be configured to
transmit up to 32 words of global output data even before any application writes to this
buffer. The data buffer will be set to zero.
24. From the Health Timeout list, select 500 msec, which is the default value.
Note
The Health Timeout interval specifies the minimum time period that the Peer Cop
configured communication must fail before the associated health bit is cleared. There is
a 20 msec latency in this timeout value. Thus, the maximum amount of time that
elapses before the health bit clears is the configuration time plus 20 msec.
For example, if the health timeout is 60 msec, then the health bit will be cleared no
sooner than 60 msec and no later than 80 msec after loss of communication.
25. The adapter card is now fully configured. Click the Close button.
Proceed to Configuring the MBX Gateway Server to continue.
Configuring the MBX Gateway Server
The MBX Driver comes with the MBX Gateway Server. The MBX Gateway Server allows
remote nodes to access all configured MBX devices present on the system that is running
the MBX Gateway Server. Refer to the MBX Gateway Driver section for more information
on this capability.
You must enable and configure the MBX Gateway Server if you plan to use the MBX
Gateway Driver on other systems on your network and you want them to be able to
access the MBX devices on this system. Otherwise, you should disable the MBX Gateway
Server.
1. Select the MBX Gateway Server tab.
