ODS asks you to determine the type of communication required
for your control.
Important: For standard RS232 communication, select
(C).
For use with the DH+ network, select
(D).If
you are using OCI, you can either select the
Ethernet
(E) or Control Serial Port (C) option.
Important: Accessing DH+ using DOS or Windows 95 with
your 9/Series control requires INTERCHANGE.
Accessing DH+ via Windows NT requires
RSLinx. Refer to Chapter 7 for more
information about the configuration m enu flow
for INTERCHANGE and RSLinx with DH+.
Important: The Ethernet/OCI communication m ode is only
available for the 9/260 and 9/290 CNCs.
Accessing Ethernet requires Windows NT and
RSLinx. Refer to Chapter 7 for more
information about the configuration m enu flow
for INTERCHANGE and RSLinx with DH+.
If your control type is 9/PC (the default selection for
Communication Mode is PC to 9/PC ), the following steps must
be completed:
A. Enter the location of the 9/PC host computer in the text box.
The host computer is the computer name on the network
where the 9/PC is installed. This name should typically be
20 characters or less. “Local” (or the name that you enter)
denotes the default location of your host computer where
your 9/PC is installed. Once you enter the location, select
[ENTER].
Important: The explanation of “Local” in stepA. assumes
that ODS and 9/PC are installed on the same PC.
If your host computer is a computer that 9/PC
and ODS is not installed on, refer to page 7--12.
