Configuring the NS-Link Driver for Windows

DeviceMaster LT User Guide: 2000586 Rev. B
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 Start > Programs > Comtrol > DeviceMaster > DeviceMaster Driver Management
Console.
2. Highlight the Device Name of the DeviceMaster LT that you want to configure.
3. Select the MAC address from the drop-down 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 box
after you select the MAC address.
Note: If you enter the MAC address, make sure that you use the correct format:
00 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 displayed 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
