4.3.Client Side Node Descriptors

Section Title
Nodes
Column Title	Function	Legal Values
	Provide name for Node. The driver
	uses the Node name to establish a
	connection with the Server if the
	Node_ID is non-zero.
Node_Name	If the Node_ID is zero then the driver	Up to 32 alphanumeric
	ignores the Node name when logging	characters
	onto the PLC and logs on using a
	Null name. Thus by setting the
	Node_ID to zero you can allow the
	driver to log onto a Node whose
	name is not known.
	The parameter is used to control how
Node_ID	the driver logs onto the PLC. Read	0,1
	the notes above (Node_Name)
Protocol	Specify protocol used	SNP
Port	Specify which port the device is	P1-P8, R1-R22
	connected to the FieldServer
