Configuration

The VMSE can be configured using remote or local methods. Either use an ASCII terminal or a terminal emulation program to locally access the serial port, or use a Telnet connection to configure the unit over the network.

The VMSE configuration is stored in nonvolatile memory and is retained without power. The configuration can be changed any time. The VMSE performs a reset after the configuration has been changed and stored.

Configuration Steps

The following steps need to be done, in the order listed, to configure the VMSE for use. These steps can be done via the serial port or over the network using Telnet.

•Set the Network Configuration - IP Address, Gateway Address, and Network Mask.

•Load appropriate firmware if needed - SRTP/SNP, PassThru, Modbus TCP/RTU.

•Configure Channel for application - Depends on firmware option chosen. See Chapter 1 for firmware option details.

Entering Serial Configuration Mode

An ASCII terminal or a PC with a terminal emulation program can be connected to the serial port on the VMSE. The terminal (or PC) should be configured for 9600 baud, no parity, 8-bit, and 1 stop bit.

To enter configuration mode, the power on the VMSE must be cycled (powered off and back on). After power-up, the self-test begins. About a second later, three lowercase ‘x’ characters must be sent to the VMSE. These characters must all be sent within approximately one second to start the configuration mode.
