3.2Discovering Serial Device Servers

3.2.1Auto Searching

Advantech Serial Device Server Configuration Utility will automatically search all the EKI, ADAM and EDG series device servers on the network and show them on the Device Server List Area of the utility. The utility provides an auto-search function to show your device(s) by simply executing the configuration utility program from the Start Menu as follows: Start Menu --> All Program --> Advantech eAutomation --> Serial Device Server Configuration Utility

From here all device on the same network domain will be searched and display on Device Server List Area. You can click on the device name to show the features of the specific device. Click on the "+" before the model name, and the utility will expand the tree structure to show the individual device name. Click on the “-“ before the model name, and the utility will collapse the tree structure.

For Example, EKI-1522 in this figure is shown "EKI-1522-A6E62B" after expanding the tree structure.

Note

When you run the Configuration Utility for the first time, the default

 

device name is "MAC ID". In this case, the device name "EKI-1522-

 

A6E62B" means the device "MAC ID" is "00 D0 C9 A6 E6 2B". You can

 

change the default device name in System Tab of Device Properties.
