Configuring a Device Server

In this step you will configure a Device Server to connect to the LinkServer. Perform the following:

•	Connect a Device Server to the network and power it.

•	Run DS Manager (Start > Programs > Tibbo > DS Manager).

•	You should see the Device Server in the list. If you can't see it, use the Address Book Access Mode.

•	Select the Device Server and click Settings. This is the first tab you will see:

an007_dsm1

•	Set Owner name to the same name as your account in the previous step (Adding a DS as User). In our example, this is johndoe.

•	Set Device name to the same name as your Device Server in the previous step. In our example, this is dev1.

•	Don't forget to make sure your Device Server has a valid IP -- by enabling DHCP, or setting a valid IP address manually.

•	Set Gateway IP-address to the correct gateway for your subnet, so the Device Server could get reach the LinkServer (assuming the LinkServer is not on the local subnet).

•	Click the Password button and set a password for the DS. This has to be the same password you configured for it in the previous step. In our example, this is Vlf6Lr!.

•	Now, click the Connection tab:

an007_dsm2

•	Set Transport Protocol to TCP.

•	Set Link Service login to Enabled.

•	Set Routing Mode to Client only.

•	Set Connection mode to Immediately (on powerup).

•	Set Destination IP-address to the IP address of the server (which you've noted down in step 1, Downloading and Installing Software and Firmware).

•	Set Destination Port to 6450.

•	Now, click the Serial Port tab:

an007_dsm3

•	Set the serial settings according to your device (RTS/CTS flow control, DTR mode, Baud rate, Parity, Data bits)

•	Set On-the-Fly commands to Disabled.

•	Click OK to apply the settings and close the dialog.

•	DS Manager will reset the Device Server.

•

Assuming you did everything correctly up to here (including all previous steps), the DS should now blink the green LED a few times and then light it steadily. This means that a connection has been established. If you get another LED pattern, find out what it is under Status LED Signals and try to troubleshoot it from there.

•	If you now log-on to your account in the LinkServer, you will see the Device Server as Online under Device Servers.
