PYRAMID_EI Object

The PYRAMID_EI object is created from the New_PORT_TCPIP_000 branch of the DAServer hierarchy.

To add the PYRAMID_EI object to your ABTCP hierarchy

1. Right-click on the New_PORT_TCPIP_000 object.

2. Select Add Pyramid_EI Object from the shortcut menu. A New_Pyramid_EI_000 object is created.

3. Rename the newly created object as appropriate.

   Note: You can add up to 1024 of each type object to the hierarchy.

4. The Pyramid_EI parameters view is displayed.

   

This configuration view has three configurable parameters. One parameter, the Ethernet Interface module type 5820-EI, is not configurable. The other two configurable parameters are as follows:

• Host name: Host name or IP address of the destination.

  • The number of characters cannot be more than 255.

  • The field cannot be blank.

  • The host name is defined in the system host file, usually found in \WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts).

    Note: The Host Name defaults to the LocalHost. If the LocalHost is selected and deleted, resulting in a blank Host Name field, and you apply the changes, this will result in an error message.

• Connection timeout: Time (in milliseconds) allowed to establish a socket connection to a target device.

  • The default value is 2000 milliseconds.

  • Valid range is 1000 to 20000 milliseconds.
