Chapter 5 – Connecting to the Drive
To connect to the drive an Ethernet cable is required
To use the Ethernet connection the PC must be
set up to be on the same subnet address as
LINKnet. This setup procedure is listed on page
8 of this manual. Once this setup is complete
connect the PC's Ethernet cable to a device
which is on the LINKnet communications
network such as a switch. Then launch DSE. Go
to the yellow Serial port Icon and select it. All
of the modules which are on the LINKnet will
be shown along with the IP Address of each
module. Also, shown will be which module the
Ethernet is connected to.
In the example shown the Ethernet is connected to 'Drive_A_Address_32'. There are 3 modules on this Ethernet.
The 'checked box' shows which module DSE is connected via the Ethernet.
