OPTOCONTROL USER'S GUIDE - Opto 22

QUICK START
The Select Connection Type dialog box appears:
4. From this dialog box, make choices and enter data based on your controller.
• If the controller is connected directly to your computer via ARCNET or a serial link,
select Direct.
• If the controller is connected via Ethernet, select Ethernet.
• If it is connected to another computer on a network, select Server.
Regardless of your choice, you’ll need to supply additional information to allow
OptoControl to connect to the controller. For a direct connection, you need port and address
information. For an Ethernet connection, you need Ethernet connection data, such as
Ethernet type and IP address. For a server connection, you need to select the computer on
which OptoServer is running.
For our sample in the next several steps, we’ll assume a direct ARCNET connection.
