Setting Up Your DAServer

This section describes the procedures required to set up the ABTCP DAServer for use with the supported devices gateways and communication-interfaces.

Many high-level functions and user-interface elements of the DAServer Manager are universal to all DAServers. These universal functions are described in detail in the DAServer Manager User’s Guide.

See the DAServer Manager User’s Guide to find more information on:

• Global parameters

• Configuration sets

• Time zone features

• Icon definitions

• Activation/deactivation

• Configuring as a service

• Importing/exporting device items

• Standard diagnostics

The ABTCP DAServer uses the TCP/IP to communicate with all devices across an Ethernet network.

The ABTCP Hierarchy in the DAServer starts with the TCP/IP PORT Object, followed by supported ABTCP controllers.

Note: Before attempting to configure your DAServer, you should determine the hierarchical structure of your network/controller environment.
