48 | XIO USER MANUAL | 2106424MNAB
TCP/IP based communication can take place between a Totalflow controller and
an XIO when both have their factory default IP addresses intact. However, it is best practice to us
e
unique IP addresses even if only one XIO is installed.
All XIOs have the same factory IP address. Installations with multiple XIOs must replace the default IP
address with a unique address for each device.
To configure the XIO for network communication, follow the applicable procedures:
– If the XIO connects to a third-party controller, follow steps in section 4.6.3 Configure the XIO and
then, 4.8 Configure Ethernet-Serial Passthrough. The configuration of a third-party controller is
beyond the scope of this manual. Consult the vendor documentation.
– If the XIO connects to a Totalflow controller, such as the RMC-100, follow steps in section 4.8.1
Configure the XIO first, and then complete steps in section 4.8.2 Configure the RMC.
4.6.3 Configure the XIO
Configure the XIO with valid IP parameters. The XIO supports static (manual) or dynamic (DHCP) IP
addressing on both A and B network ports. If possible, it is preferable to configure the XIO with static IP
addresses. These addresses remain in the configuration and do not depend on a connection to a DHCP
server. Loss of the IP address causes loss of existing connections on the Ethernet ports.
A change to the state of Ethernet (enable or disable) or any other parameter will
Ethernet interface. This will cause existing connections on that IP address to be lost.
