4.6 Configure network communication (4-port switch
mode)
The XIO network communication configuration depends on field scenarios. The XIO Ethernet ports support
several options. Network configuration provides TCP/IP based communication for:
– Remote management and access to the device from the corporate network: The XIO configured with
a valid IP address is available for remote monitoring connections and data collection.
– Measurement data transmission in the field: The XIO configured with a valid IP address is
discoverable and available for connection with Totalflow remote controllers polling for measurement
data.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
For additional details on network configuration, see section 9 Ethernet
connectivity scenarios
or the Network Communication Application Guide listed in Additional
information
.
4.6.1 Sample connections
The following figures show high-level examples of XIO network connections. In these scenarios, the RMC
is the remote controller installed at the site. The XIO may be in the same cabinet as the RMC or
standalone in another cabinet at a distance from the RMC. Ethernet connection options depend on the
available network equipment, distance between devices, and number of devices.
In Figure 4-14
, both the XIO and RMC connect to their own ports on a network switch. Each can be
accessed remotely for management. Measurement data traffic flows between the RMC and the XIO.
