Station Setup Connection

A computer with a Station Setup of ToolsTalk 2 can be connected to a controller through the network or directly to the service port.

Network Connection

The ToolsTalk 2 server connection address in the controller must be directed to this computer. This is done via the controller GUI or the controller web GUI.

Only one controller at a time can be connected to a computer with a ToolsTalk 2 Station Setup. If an online controller is connected to the ToolsTalk 2 Station Setup computer, subsequent connection attempts from other controllers will be ignored.

Controller Service Port Connection

The controller service port can be used to connect a controller to ToolsTalk 2 when the PC with ToolsTalk 2 is not allowed to be connected to the network. For example, an Atlas Copco - or external - service technician visits a factory and the external computer is not allowed to be connected to the factory network.

If a computer is connected to the service port of the controller, the controller acts as a DHCP server and provides an IP address to the computer. This address must be entered in the controller server connection address field for the ToolsTalk 2 connection.
