8.2 Configuring Multiple Devices

When configuring a number of Device Servers identically, it is useful to create a template

setup record. The setup record can then be sent to the “target” Device Servers from a

“master” Device Server via “cut and paste” or UDP (see Network Configuration using UDP

on page 8-1).

Device Servers use a 120-byte setup record in Intel Hex format. This format facilitates the

transfer of binary data using ASCII characters. See Setup Records on page 8-7 and The Intel

Hex Format on page 8-5 for information about setup records and converting them to Intel

Hex format.

8.2.1 Acquiring a Valid Setup Record

There are a number of ways to acquire a valid setup record:

• Copy the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via Monitor Mode

(easiest method).

• Request the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via another Device

Server on the network.

• Build the setup record in software.

• From a host PC, request the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via

UDP.

To copy the setup record of a properly configured Device Server:

1. Configure a “master” Device Server with the desired parameters.

2. Enter Monitor Mode on the master Device Server (see Monitor Mode on page 7-1).

3. At the prompt, enter GC followed by a carriage return. The Device Server will respond

with its setup record in Intel Hex format.

4. Copy the setup record into a text file and save it for future use.
