Device Driver (NS-Link) Installation - 35

Configuring the NS-Link Driver for Windows

This subsection provides a configuration overview for the NS-Link driver. For

detailed information or if the DeviceMaster LT is on a different physical segment,

refer to the help system or the DeviceMaster LT Device Driver (NS-Link) User

Guide, which is available on the Software and Documentation CD or you can

download the latest

The DeviceMaster LT must be connected to the local network segment or directly

to a NIC on the host system to operate in MAC mode to perform the following

configuration steps.

1. Access the Comtrol Drivers Management Console

using the desktop shortcut

or Sta

rt > Programs > Comtrol > DeviceMaster > DeviceMaster Driv

er Management

Console.

2. Highlight the Device Name of the DeviceMaster LT that you want to configure.

3. Select the MAC address from the drop-dow

n list or enter the address from the

MAC

address label on the DeviceMaster LT. If you programmed the IP

address using PortVision DX, the IP address displays in the IP Mode text bo

after you select the M

AC address.

Note: If you enter the

MAC address, make sure that you use the correct format:

C0 4E xx xx xx. A space must separate each pair of digits. The MAC

address is located on a label on the DeviceMaster LT or you can view it

using PortVision DX.

If the appropriate MAC address is not disp

layed in the drop-down list, then it

can be one of the following reasons:

• Not on the same network segment

• DeviceMaster LT not powered on or connected

• The wrong DeviceMaster model was selected during the driver installation

• Device failure
