Table 3 - NSC-setting
● The first 3 DIP switches (1-3) give a unique network name to the module. The name always starts
with „NSC“ and a digit „0“ to „7“ -depending on switch position.
● Attention: the network name can be replaced by a specific name with the Netscale demo tool.
● The fourth DIP switch is used to switch the protocol type between UDP and TCP. 0= UDP protocol; 1
= TCP protocol. The connectionless, packet-oriented UDP protocol is activated ex works. Advantage of
UDP-protocol is that several hosts have simultaneous access to the Netscale. With activated DIP switch
4 = 1, the TCP protocol is activated, which guarantees connection security. An automatic timeout of
120 seconds is stored for the TCP protocol. When the TCP protocol is activated, connection security is
guaranteed. An automatic timeout of 120 seconds is stored for the TCP protocol. When TCP protocol
is activated , a rudimentary TELNET protocol is simultaneously available on port 23.
Notice
With activated TCP protocol the „test Software NetScale.exe Demotool“ does not work!
● The fifth DIP switch activates the DHCP mode (=1). If activated it gets the IP address from DHCP
host.
● The sixth DIP switch sets the IP-address to “192.168.0.1" (used for service purpose).
● Attention: IP address can be replaced temporary by a special address with the help of the Net-Scale
Demo Tool. DHCP options must be disabled via DIP switch 5.
