CHAPTER 36 NETWORKING
INTRODUCTION
Scope This chapter describes the basic procedures for networking a DEK printing
printer. It does not contain any in-depth information about installing equipment
onto a network or fault analysis. Additionally, it does not cover subject matter
such as server topologies, IP Addressing and network classifications. If it is
necessary to obtain further information please contact ASM Customer Support.
Anti-Virus
Checking
The DEK printer is virus checked before leaving the factory and it is the
customers’ responsibility to ensure the printer is kept virus free. Once the DEK
printer is connected to another computer or a network, it is at risk from viruses.
When connected to a network, ensure that the network virus check includes the
DEK printer in its schedule.
NOTE
There is no virus checking software loaded on to the DEK printer.
Establishing a
Network
Connection
The four items that need to be set up to establish a network connection are listed
below:
Protocol Generally, the protocol used is TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
Protocol) where communications between computers is divided into packets
with headers (electronic address labels) that identify the IP address. Every IP
Address is divided into the network ID portion (Net id) and a client ID portion
(Host id).
NOTE
ASM can support any protocol that customer has, only TCP/IP needs the
information provided in this chapter, other protocols provide automatic address-
ing techniques.
Physical Establish the cable type, examples are shown.
• 10 Base T (Thin Ethernet)
NOTE
ASM only provide support for the 10 Base T cable types. The plug is an RJ45
type and it is recommended that a CAT 5 twisted pair arrangement is used
(details later in this chapter).
Once this is known the location of the network socket must be assessed and an
assessment made of the suitability of the system for the application.
NOTE
If a customer has a different arrangement to the above, it may be possible to
convert to this arrangement using a different connector. Contact ASM Customer
Support for details.
Registration on the
Server Domain
ASM only support networking on Microsoft Windows Server/Client based archi-
tecture.
The printing machine needs to be registered on the correct domain, this
information is obtained from the network administrator and there may be a
requirement to have a user account set up and a password given.

To change the domain name, use the following procedure:
1. Select the Start button.
2. Select Computer from the right hand menu.
3. Select System Properties from the toolbar.
4. Select Change Settings from the Computer name, domain, and workgroup
settings.
5. Select the Change tab.
6. In the Member of Domain field: enter the domain name as supplied by the
network administrator.
7. Select OK.
8. Close the application.
NOTE
The network administrator is the only person who can supply the information
above. No attempt to make network connection should be made without the
administrators permission to do so.
Files When communications are established the user can transfer information to and
from folders that reside on the network, the network administrator may wish to
impose restrictions on who can access these files. Sharing and security infor-
mation is obtained and set by right clicking on the required folder in Windows
Explorer:
1. Select Properties.
2. Select Security.
3. Select Edit.
Once sharing has been enabled, permissions can be set for individuals or
groups. Control ranges from Full to Read Only.
NOTE
It is not a good practice to set a complete drive in the shared mode as
information is easily deleted or altered accidentally
Shared folders and files should be created for specific ASM applications eg,
READINGS.DAT.

COMMS PROTOCOL OPTIONS
Chapter Issue 6, Nov 19 Technical Reference Manual 36.3
COMMS PROTOCOL OPTIONS
These are the only options currently offered by ASM Assembly Systems
Weymouth Limited.
GEM If the Host is a PC, host control or DEK’s Remote Product Changeover (RPC)
package can be used to modify product files or to control printer operations
remotely. The flexibility of the GEM interface allows data collection to meet the
users requirements.
Figure 36-1 Network GEM - Typical Configuration
IP Address The IP Address of the printer must be set up in the DekSECSII.cfg file. To set
up the IP Address edit the configuration file D:\Program Files\DEK\Machine
Control\Printer\DekSECSII.cfg using a text editor. Set the passive IP Address
to the printers ‘IP Address’. If there is more than one printer communicating
with GEM Host, the DEVICEID is set different for each printer. DEVICEID values
can be set within the range 0x0000 - 0x7FFF (0 to 32767).
Server
Network
Input Conveyor and Printing Machine
Host PC
The system is hosted by a standalone PC
connected to the DEK printer using networked
GEM or Net_Files. A typical system may
interface external components such as a
Barcode Reader which uses serial RS 232.
