5.2.Server Side Node Descriptors

Section Title
Nodes
Column Title	Function			Legal Values
	The Node name is used
	differently in a Server Node
	Provide name for Node. The
	driver uses the Node name to
Node_Name	establish a connection with the		Up to 32 alphanumeric
	Server if the Node_ID is non-		characters
	zero.
	See Section 6.3 for additional
	information.
	The parameter is used to
Node_ID	control how the driver logs onto		0,1
	the PLC. Read the notes above
	(Node_Name)
Protocol	Specify protocol used		SNP.
	In a number of FieldServer
	configurations it is common to
	omit the port when defining a
	Server Node this cannot be
Server_Hold_Timeout*	done with the SNP protocol		P1-P8, R1-R24
	unless the FieldServer is to be
	used to emulate only one Node
	and is not polling any other
	SNP devices.
