# Industrial Ethernet – Protocol Selection

Perform the following steps to configure an Industrial Ethernet protocol on the In-Sight device:

1. Launch In-Sight Vision Suite if it is not already running.

2. Left-click the device you want to configure on the In-Sight® Device Pane on the left. The list of Utilities applicable to the selected vision system then appears at the bottom of the window.

1. Click the Industrial Ethernet button to launch the Industrial Ethernet Configuration utility. The following dialog appears:

   If you are using an In-Sight ViDi PC deployment, the utility dialog also contains additional network settings in the Communications Card Settings section. These settings are available for other vision systems in the Network Settings utility. See that topic for a description of the available network configuration options.

2. From the Select Protocol drop-down menu, select the appropriate option: None, EtherNet/IP, PROFINET, SLMP, or Modbus TCP Server.

3. If you intend to use OPC-UA, check the Enable OPC-UA Server checkbox.

4. If you intend to use Native Mode commands over Telnet, check the Telnet Server Enabled checkbox, and set the Telnet server port in the Port field.

5. If you have selected None from the Select Protocol menu, click Restart or OK, as no further configuration is needed in this dialog.
6. If you have selected Ethernet/IP, you can set user data to be written immediately to the UserData attribute by checking the Enable User Data Bypass checkbox. Otherwise, the data does not appear until the Set User Data service is executed.
7. If you have selected PROFINET or SLMP, see the appropriate topics for more information on the configuration settings.

8. If you are using an In-Sight ViDi PC, configure the network settings of the vision system as well under the Communication Card Settings heading. See the Network Settings topic for more information on these properties.

9. Once configuration is complete, restart the device to apply the new settings. To do so, you can check the Restart device on window close checkbox that appears at the bottom of the dialog when the Industrial Ethernet settings are changed, as shown below.

   In case of configuring an In-Sight ViDi PC device, the dialog looks as follows:

   This setting is enabled by default, and changes the OK button to Restart. If you want to restart the device at a later time, uncheck the checkbox to change the button back to OK, and when you are ready to restart the device, you can use the Restart utility.
