Configuring the Bridge

3.4.3Required Configuration Fields

The following two fields require your entries for the bridge to function properly. Contact your Ethernet network administrator to obtain this information:

H IP Address H Net Mask

3.4.4Additional Configuration Fields

These four fields may be optional or required, according to your application. Contact your Ethernet network administrator to obtain this information:

HName Server H Gateway

H Domain

H Idle Timeout

Idle Timeout: The bridge provides a default value of 300 seconds (5 minutes). This value specifies the amount of time the bridge will maintain Data Master and Data Slave paths open without active data transfers. If this time elapses, all Data paths will be closed. You can retain the default value or enter a new one.

3.4.5Address Mapping Table Fields

Note the MB+ and TCP mapping fields at the center and right side of the menu. The bridge will use these mappings to forward messages between the networks.

Refer to Sections 3.5 and 3.7 for details on setting the mapping fields.

3.4.6Saving the Configuration

When you finish configuring the bridge for your application, press Escape. You will be prompted:

Write files to disk?

Enter Y to save the configuration. Two files will written into the bridge’s root directory. The TCP/IP configuration will be written to the file C:\WATTCP.CFG. The MB+ and TCP address mapping tables will both be written to C:\RTE.CFG. You can now use the bridge in your application.
