OW.NET and Compact.NET API Adapter List          

The adapters available for 1-Wire networking are listed below.  The OW.NET and Compact.NET APIs allows the programmer to specify which adapter is being used and which port.  The adapters can be specified by name (as in a text string).  The four physical adapter names are:  {DS9490}, {DS1410E}, {DS9097U}, and the {DS9097E}.  Please note that the curly braces "{}" are required.  Please see the documentation for DSPortAdapter() and/or PortAdapter() for more information.

For OW.NET, the fifth adapter is a network adapter or "NetAdapter".  It is a TCP/IP network-based DSPortAdapter. It allows for the use of an actual DSPortAdapter which isn't located on the local machine, but rather is connected to another device which is reachable via a TCP/IP network connection.  Please see NetAdapter and NetAdapterHost for more details.

The adapter also has a port associated with it.  For example, the {DS9097U} adapter is accessible on the serial port of a PC, but which port?  In this case, the valid port list could be one of sixteen ports, COM0 through COM15.  Normally, PC serial ports would most likely be on either COM1, COM2, or COM3.  Similarly, the other adapters have a list of sixteen possible ports from which to choose.  The {DS9490} has USB0 through USB15, the {DS1410E} has LPT0 through LPT15, and the DS9097E has COM0 through COM15 possible ports.  Please note that the ports can be enumerated through, so the programmer does not need to know the actual string name attached to the port.  For the NetAdapter, the syntax for the selectPort(String) command is the hostname of the computer which hosts the actual DSPortAdapter and the TCP/IP port that the host is listening on. If the port number is not specified, a default value of 6161 is used. Here are a few examples to illustrate the syntax:

my.host.com:6060
180.0.2.46:6262
my.host.com
180.0.2.46
