UDP 8.2 Configuring Multiple Devices When configuring a number of Device Servers identically, it is useful to create a template setup record. The setup record can then be sent to the "target" Device Servers from a "master" Device Server via "cut and paste" or UDP (see Network Configuration using UDP on page 8-1). Device Servers use a 120-byte setup record in Intel Hex format. This format facilitates the transfer of binary data using ASCII characters. See Setup Records on page 8-7 and The Intel Hex Format on page 8-5 for information about setup records and converting them to Intel Hex format. :20000010AC10C81D0000100000000000AC10010B4C0200001127000000000000C000 000011 :20002010000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 0000B0 :200040104C0200001227000000000000C00000000000000000000000000000000000 000049 :1800601000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000078 :00000001FF Figure 22 - Sample Setup Record in Intel Hex Format 8.2.1 Acquiring a Valid Setup Record There are a number of ways to acquire a valid setup record: • Copy the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via Monitor Mode (easiest method). • Request the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via another Device Server on the network. • Build the setup record in software. • From a host PC, request the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via UDP.

UDP
8.2 Configuring Multiple Devices
When configuring a number of Device Servers identically, it is useful to create a template
setup record. The setup record can then be sent to the ²target³ Device Servers from a
²master³ Device Server via ²cut and paste³ or UDP (see
Network Configuration using UDP
on page
8-1
).
Device Servers use a 120-byte setup record in Intel Hex format. This format facilitates the
transfer of binary data using ASCII characters. See
Setup Records
on page
8-7
and
The Intel
Hex Format
on page
8-5
for information about setup records and converting them to Intel
Hex format.

8.2.1 Acquiring a Valid Setup Record
There are a number of ways to acquire a valid setup record:
•
Copy the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via Monitor Mode
(easiest method).
•
Request the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via another Device
Server on the network.
•
Build the setup record in software.
•
From a host PC, request the setup record of a properly configured Device Server via
UDP.
To copy the setup record of a properly configured Device Server:
1.
Configure a ²master³ Device Server with the desired parameters.
2.
Enter Monitor Mode on the master Device Server (see
Monitor Mode
on page
7-1
).
3.
At the prompt, enter GC followed by a carriage return. The Device Server will respond
with its setup record in Intel Hex format.
4.
Copy the setup record into a text file and save it for future use.
