- 89 -
6.1 PRECAUTIONS TO BE OBSERVED WHEN USING THE
DATA SERVER FUNCTIONS FOR THE FIRST TIME
CAUTION
1 When the Fast data server is used for the first time,
format the ATA card, set the appropriate parameters,
and turn the power off then on again. If the data
server functions are used without performing these
operations, normal operation cannot be guaranteed.
2 When Ethernet FTP communication is performed 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 IP addresses and other settings are set,
communications may be interfered with or the entire
network might be adversely affected.
Particularly, if a duplicate IP address is set,
communication errors are caused 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.3, "Checking Communication."
3 Never turn off the power to the CNC while the ATA
card is being accessed (while a data server function
service is being executed). Otherwise, the data on
the ATA card may be destroyed.
Never turn off the power to the CNC while using its
functions, especially the FTP server functions.
4 To guard against ATA card failure, back up the files
on the ATA card of the host computer.
NOTE
1 One of the following option functions is needed when
the data server functions are used:
Series15i-MB A02B-0298-J827
2 Using the data server function in the buffer mode
needs options that match the CNC used.
Series15i-MB A02B-0298-J697
3 Only one FTP server can be connected to one CNC
by the data server functions. One CNC can be
connected to only five FTP clients.
