General

1.1 OVERVIEW

The Ethernet port of EDI signal monitors is used to transfer status and event log
information between a networked Personal Computer (PC) and the monitor unit. The PC is
intended to operate with EDI ECcom Signal Monitor Communications software.

The EDI ECcom software is distributed free of charge and can be obtained from the EDI
web site at www.EDItraffic.com

The networking parameters of the Ethernet port can be configured using two different
methods; the EDI ECcom program (Section 2) or a standard internet browser (Section 3).
Which method is used depends on the user preference. Some options may be affected by
administrator issues on the PC.

Once the network parameters of the Ethernet port are set, the EDI ECcom program is then
used to view monitor operational status and event logs. Note that a browser program will
not provide access to the monitor status and logs.

1.2 PRODUCTION NOTES

The Ethernet network parameters are typically programmed via the Ethernet interface but
can also be loaded from the Datakey of the CMUip-2212, CMUip-212 or 2018KCLip. In
these cases the EDI MonitorKey software (version 2.4 or greater) provides the tool to
program the network parameters into the Datakey. This requires an installed firmware level
as follows:

CMUip-2212 v0115 or greater

CMUip-212 v0122 or greater

2018KCLip v0156 or greater

. The current production release of ECcom is 4.2.

EDI ECcom Method

2.1 LAN SEARCH FUNCTION

Operation of the ECcom software package is described in EDI ECcom Software
Operations Manual and will not be covered in this manual. The EDI ECcom software is

available at no charge from the EDI web site at www.EDItraffic.com

The SEARCH function (Menu: Setup / Comm Port / Settings - Search button) can be used
to obtain a list of monitors connected to the LAN network port. The Search function runs on
any system capable of sending multicast IP/UDP packets on a network. Search allows
ECcom to identify LAN enabled EDI monitors attached to a network by sending out a
multicast packet. The monitors respond to the multicast packet and identify themselves to
the ECcom program. Note that this function is limited to a small number of monitors on the
network and is primarily intended for use in a direct connect application where only one
monitor is discovered.

The Show Only EDI Devices check box will cause ECcom to filter the search responses to
only those network devices that are configured as EDI monitors (Port Name = EDI).

The Monitor ID can also be displayed. If the Retrieve ID and Name box is checked, the
Monitor ID and Monitor Name will be retrieved from each identified monitor. Checking this
box will slow the Search function dramatically.

.

Once a monitor has identified itself, the network configuration parameters may be modified
if necessary by right clicking on the table entry or selecting the Configure Device button.
This provides a mechanism for configuring the IP address, subnet mask, and default
gateway of the monitor port. Note that the network parameters are accepted only in decimal
notation; hex and octal digits are not allowed.
