9.3 First-time local communication (4-port switch mode)
The startup configuration of the Totalflow devices requires first-time local communication. Establish a
connection between a PC or laptop and the XIO after installation and power-on sequence is complete. The
XIO factory default Ethernet configuration is a 4-port switch: all Ethernet ports are logically combined into
a single network. Connect the laptop and the XIO directly via Ethernet on any of the Ethernet ports.
Figure 9-2
shows the laptop connecting directly to the XIO on either port A1 or B1.
The default IP configuration on the XIO is available to support initial local access by an operator during
installation and first-time configuration. If the XIO is configured for networking communication, a valid IP
configuration for the field network must replace the factory default.
If the XIO is inside an enclosure, and the enclosure has an external
connector, use this connector for initial local communication for convenience.
Connecting to the other ports requires opening the enclosure door
and connecting directly on
External ports are meant for local access only, never for permanent field

9.3.1 Configuration
First-time configuration of local communication using Ethernet requires that:
– The device’s IP parameter and Ethernet network ports configuration are the factory-defaults.
– The PC or laptop that communicates with the controller is running a Windows
®
7 or later operating
system.
