1.1. Supported ICDM-RX/TCP Models
This Installation and Configuration Guide supports the ICDM-RX/TCP platform.The Guide refers to ICDM-RX/
TCP unless there is model-specific information.
1.2. ICDM-RX/TCP Port Usage
ICDM-RX/TCP serial ports can be configured for many environments, which include the following:
•COM port (or secure COM ports) when the NS-Link driver for Windows is installed
•tty ports when the NS-Link driver for Linux is installed
•Socket ports when SocketServer or the NS-Link web page is configured accordingly
1.3. Installation Overview
ICDM-RX/TCP installation and configuration follows these steps:
1. Hardware installation.
Power up the ICDM-RX/TCP. Technical Support suggests installing one ICDM-RX/TCP at a time to avoid
configuration problems using Hardware Installation on Page 10.
2. Install PortVision DX.
Pepperl+Fuchs recommends connecting the ICDM-RX/TCP to a PC or laptop running Windows and that
you install PortVision DX for easy IP address configuration and firmware updates. See Installing PortVision
DX on Page 27 to install PortVision DX.
3. Program the IP address.
See Configuring the Network Settings (PortVision DX) on Page 28 for detailed configuration procedures.

2.1. ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM and ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM2
Installation
Use the following procedure to install the ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM or ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM2.
1. Place the or ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM2 on a stable surface and skip to Step 2 or optionally mount the
ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM or ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM2 using the mounting flanges or DIN rail
adapters.
a. Pick up the ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM or ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM2 so that the front of the
device is facing you.
b. Pick up a DIN rail clip. (The three tines should be on top and the M4 label should
face you.)
c. Slide the DIN rail clip behind the ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM or ICDM-RX/TCP-
DB9/RJ45-PM2 and line it up with one of the screw holes on the ICDM-RX/TCP-
DB9/RJ45-PM or ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM2.
d. Insert the M4 screw into the hole and tighten with a Phillips screwdriver.
e. Repeat Steps b through dwith the second DIN rail clip. Make sure the screws on
both DIN rail clips line up.
Note: If you need to remove the ICDM-RX/TCP-DB9/RJ45-PM or ICDM-RX/TCP-
DB9/RJ45-PM2 from the DIN rail, exert pressure on the backside of the
tabs at the bottom of both DIN rail clips.

Status
The amber Status LED on the device is lit, indicating you have power and it has completed the
boot cycle.
The Status LED flashes while booting and it takes approximately 15 seconds for the
Bootloader to complete the cycle.When the Bootloader completes the cycle, the LED has a
solid, steady light that blinks approximately every 10 seconds.
Link/Act If the red Link/Act LED is lit, it indicates a working Ethernet connection.
Duplex If the red Duplex LED is lit, it indicates full-duplex activity.
100 If the red 100 LED is lit, it indicates a working 100 MB Ethernet connection (100 MB network,
only). If the LED is not lit, it indicates a 10 MB Ethernet connection.
Note: For additional LED information, go to the Status LED table on Page 127.
