Model 493.04 PC-Per-Station Kit About the Model 493.04 PC-Per-Station Kit The Model 493.04 PC-Per-Station Kit allows you to use up to four PCs with one controller––in effect, you may use one “PC-Per-Station.” This ability to have a separate computer and monitor for each station simplifies window management and station operation. Kit contents The Model 493.
Network Requirements Network Requirements PC Hardware Requirements Each PC and Ethernet adaptor must meet the following requirements. PC requirements For current PC requirements, see the “README” file in your current system controller software folder. Ethernet adapter requirements All Ethernet network interface cards used in each PC must have the TCP and IP CRC off loading feature, and that feature must be enabled in the driver.
Network Requirements Straight cable pin assignments It is important that each twisted pair is wired as shown in the table below. For example, TX+ & TX- must be in a pair, and RX+ & RX- must be together in another pair.
Network Requirements Crossover cable pin assignments If a crossover cable is used, you must wire it as shown below. For example, for 568B cable, the white/orange wires connected to Connector 1 pin 1 should go to Connector 2 pin 3 and Connector 1 pin 2 to Connector 2 pin 6, and so forth. .
Kit Installation Instructions Kit Installation Instructions Kit installation requires an advanced understanding of computer hardware and networks. Procedure To install the kit: 1. Install the Network Adapters. 2. Install the Network Switches. 3. Configure PC network connections. A. Turn on Local Area Connection Properties.. B. Enter the IP address for each network connection. 4. Install MTS Software. A. Follow the procedure How to Install System Software on the Master PC on page 16. B.
Install the Network Adapters Task 1 Install the Network Adapters How to Install a Network Adapter See the documentation that came with your network adapter for detailed hardware installation and configuration instructions. 1. Disconnect power from the PC. 2. Remove the chassis cover from the PC and install the network adapter(s). 3. Replace the chassis cover and apply power to the PC. 4.

Install the Network Switches Task 2 Install the Network Switches How to Install PC-Per-Station Network Switches The switches provided with this kit include autodetect features that allow you to plug MDI or MDIX cables in any of the ports. Network connections 1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the controller processor board to the network switch. You can use an existing “crossover” cable (MDIX) or one of the straightthrough cables (MDI) provided with the kit. 2.
Configure PC network connections Task 3 Configure PC network connections How to Configure Ethernet Network Connections Perform this procedure for each Ethernet network adapter. Note The procedure for entering network IP addresses will vary according to the Windows operating system you are using. Note After all the network connections are configured, you may need to reboot each PC for new assignments to take effect. 1. Turn on Local Area Connection Properties. 12 A. Apply power to all components.
Configure PC network connections F. In the Local Area Connection Properties window, select the following items: General Data Network Properties Controller Network Properties 2. Enter the IP address for each network connection. MTS Model 493.
Configure PC network connections A. In the Local Area Connection Properties window, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and click Properties. B. In the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Properties window, enter the IP address for the network connection. (See the following table for IP addresses.)

Install MTS Software Task 4 Install MTS Software Software Installation Requirements Simple TCP/IP services, TCP/IP protocol, routing, and real-time logon accounts must be configured and fully functional. All of the PCs must have the same Windows operating system (and service pack) installed. How to Install System Software on the Master PC 1–Install system software See the Software Installation Instructions in the “READ ME” file on the 793 System Software Installation CD. 1.
Install MTS Software 4. Record the computer name in which you have created the share. How to Install System Client Software on the Dependent PC(s) Perform the following procedures to install system client software on each dependent PC. Important 1–Map to the Master PC shared folder C:\MTS 793 Do not install system controller software on dependent PCs from the system software distribution CD. Client software must be installed over the network using files located on the Master PC.
How to Use PC-Per-Station Networking How to Use PC-Per-Station Networking Basic Operation The PC-Per-Station Kit links multiple computers to a single controller. Startup procedure 1. Switch the Master PC on and allow the system to load. 2. Switch the Controller on and allow the system to load. 3. Once the master PC and controller have loaded, you can use dependent computers to run a test or a simulation.
How to Use PC-Per-Station Networking About Older PC-Per-Station Installations with Network Hubs Older PC-Per-Station installations use a network hub configured as shown below. Note Hubs only support hal-duplex communications. 1. Use the existing “crossover” cable to connect the controller processor module to the Uplink/Normal (MDI/MDIX) port (usually port 8) of the controller-dedicated network hub.
