Channels

Field Descriptions

The Local connection option is different depending on whether you are configuring a Digital Input or a Digital Output/Relay channel. The Local connection option for Digital Input lists all the local Digital Output channels or output serial signal pins that it is associated with. Digital Input can be connected to multiple local Digital Output or Relay channels or output serial signal pins. However, a Digital Output can only be associated with one Digital Input channel or input serial signal pin. The Local connection option for Digital Output configures the specific local Digital Input channel or input serial signal pin on the same IOLAN that it is to be connected to.

For a description of the SSL/TLS parameters (not available when Local connection is configured), see SSL/TLS Settings Tab Field Descriptions on page 123.

Digital Input/DSR/DCD/CTS

Digital Output/Relay/DTR/RTS

Configure the following parameters:

Enable I/O

When enabled, the digital channel can be connected to:

extension

z A Digital output or relay (if the I/O model supports relay) channel on the

 

same IOLAN

 

z Output Serial Signal Pins (DTR/RTS)

 

z A Digital output channel on another IOLAN(s) or output serial signal pins

 

(DTR/RTS) on another IOLAN(s)

 

z A TCP/IP application(s) running on a host on the network

 

Default: Disabled

Listen for

When enabled, the channel/serial signal pin will wait for connections to be

connection

initiated by another I/O channel or a TCP/IP application.

 

Default: Enabled

Input TCP Port

The TCP port that the channel/serial signal pin will use to listen for incoming

 

connections.

 

Default: 2000 for channel 1, then increments by one for each channel
