Device Maintenance Dialog Box
Device Information provides information (such as firmware version, input/output configuration, etc.) regarding the
selected device. Set Date/Time allows update of the internal real-time clock. Set IP Address assigns a device IP
Address such as 169.254.1.X (where range of X = 1~254). The factory default IP Address is 169.254.1.200. However,
IP Addresses cannot be duplicated, even in simple (E Desk™ only) networks, and must be carefully managed when
network topologyis more complex. Set Device Description allows the selected device to be given a descriptive name.
Serial Port Setting determines the baud rate of RS-232 communications (currently fixed at 38,400). Reset/Initialize
clears all current system design data from the selected device. This happens automatically whenever a new system
design file (.DAP) is uploaded (see Send Configuration). Update Firmware uploads flash update files (.JAM) to the
selected device.
