Note:

zCheck Duplicated IP option

This option checks whether the IP address is already listed in the server window (left hand window). It is automatically checked by default. The following alert will be displayed if an IP address is duplicated.

zConnect to Server option

This option connects to the i-7540D and retrieves the name of device before adding it to the server window (left hand window). It is automatically checked by default. The following alert will be displayed if the Connect to Server option is not checked before clicking the Add Server button. Choose the correct i-7540D Model Number and then click the OK button (Here the i-7540D model number is 7186E3).

zTimeout (ms) field

This timeout value is used for Connecting, disconnecting and sending/receiving data in the VxComm Utility, and is used for Connecting and Disconnecting in the VxComm Driver.

zCommand Port field:

By default, the Command/Configuration TCP port is 10000. If you change the setting of μPAC-7186E, then you must assign the correct one in this field to let the VxComm Utility and Driver to get access to the device.
