There are a number of possibilities to
consider here. You should check your network setup and ensure that
you have a good path to the device(s) in question. If your I/O
server is on the wrong subnet, has an incorrect subnet mask or the
gateway is not configured properly your TCP/IP packets may be
getting lost. You can check this low level of communication by
pinging the devices by IP address. Some devices are not supported
by the driver yet and may never be. This includes boxes which
ordinarily emulate a device which should be accessible via TCP/IP.
An example of such a device is the X-Link by SS Technologies. This
device will yield a general error when an attempt is made to
establish comms. Also, you should check the TCP/IP software used on
your machine - Citect's driver has only been tested with
Microsoft's own TCP/IP software. |
