3.0 DEVICE CONFIGURATION
The user will have to configure the device using the configuration Utility. This utility is
provided to search, install and configure the device in a network. All settings like baud
rate, IP address, subnetmask, gateway etc. can be set using this utility. These settings
are stored in permanent flash memory of the board.
To run the utility, click on Start/Program/Millennium Following screen will appear on the
PC. Please follow the steps to install the device correctly.
Click on “Search” icon(left most), it will start searching the devices on the network and display
DIN numbers, IP address, MAC address, And operating mode of the found devices, as shown in
below screen. Click on “Search” icon will do broadcast search, that you can also select by clicking
Search->Broadcast Search

4.0 Configuration Parameters
Network Settings:
1. Host IPADDRESS: This IP address is the IP address of the PC where
the configuration utility is installed.
2. DIN: Device Identification No.(No need for users). Default: 2
3. IP ADDRESS: Put the IP address for the device u want to set. Default
192.168.0.100
4. SUBNET: put subnet mask for the device according to your network
settings. Default: 255.255.255.0
5. GATEWAY: put Gateway for the device according to your network
settings. Gateway is required only when the device is in other network
Default: 255.255.255.255
Serial Settings:
1. BAUD RATE: Baud rate for the serial device. You can configure from
1200 to 115200. Default: 9600
2. Parity: Parity you can select from NO Parity, Even Parity, and Odd
parity according to the serial device supports. Default: No Parity
3. Interface: Interface can be RS-232, RS-485 and RS-422. Default: RS-
485
4. Socket Alive Time: If there is no any activity on Ethernet for the
amount of time (in mins) specified in parameter, then device closes its
