16.1.3.1 Connection Mechanism in NWCONFIG
In the networks created in NWCONFIG, users can download parameters to a single node or multiple
nodes, upload parameters from a single node or multiple nodes, and monitor a single node or
multiple nodes. Before users download parameters to a single node or multiple nodes, upload
parameters from a single node or multiple nodes, or monitor a single node or multiple nodes, they
have to select appropriate parameters.
• Single node
Users can download parameters to a single device, upload parameters from a single device, and
monitor a single device. Before users download parameters to a single device, upload
parameters from a single device, or monitor a single device, they have to make sure that the
device specified is the same as the device which is actually connected to the computer.
• Multiple nodes
In a network, users can download parameters to multiple devices, upload parameters from
multiple devices, and monitor multiple devices. Before users download parameters to multiple
devices, upload parameters from multiple devices, or monitor multiple devices, they have to
make sure that the devices are connected to an Ethernet network, the devices are assigned IP
addresses, and the connection type that the driver uses is Ethernet.
If the connection type that the driver selected uses is Ethernet, the system will carry out
communication according to the IP addresses assigned to the devices in NWCONFIG. Before the
communication is carried out, users have to make sure that the IP addresses actually assigned to
the devices are the same as the IP addresses set in NWCONFIG, and the networks actually created
are the same as the networks created in NWCONFIG. Otherwise, an error will occur if the
communication is carried out.
