- -89
6.1 PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN USING THE
DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME
CAUTION
1 When the data server board is used for the first time,
format the hard disk, set the appropriate parameters,
and turn the power off then on again. If the data
server functions are used without first performing
these operations, normal operation cannot be
guaranteed.
2 When Ethernet FTP communication is carried out for
the first time, consult with your company's network
administrator to determine the network addresses
and other settings. Then, conduct a communications
test.
If incorrect network addresses and other settings are
set, communication and other faults may adversely
affect the entire network.
Particularly, if a duplicate IP address is set, the data
server causes communication errors intermittently.
This may result in a CNC's system error. To check
whether the IP address duplicates any one already in
use, see "Checking IP addresses for duplication" in
Appendix A.4, "Checking Communication."
3 Never turn off the power to the CNC while the hard
disk is being accessed (a data server function service
is being executed). Otherwise, the data saved on the
hard disk may be destroyed.
4 Never turn off the power to the CNC while using the
functions, especially the FTP server functions.
5 To guard against hard disk failure, back up the files
on the hard disk of the host computer.
NOTE
1 The following option parameter is needed when the
data server functions are used:
Series15i-MA A02B-0261-J827
2 The following options are required to use buffer mode
for data server features:
Series15i-MA A02B-0261-J697
3 Only one FTP client can be connected to one CNC by
the data server functions. One CNC can be
connected to only one FTP server.
