Windows Driver Installation

4.4. DeviceMaster Driver Configuration

4.4.1. DeviceMaster Associating the MAC Address

The first step to configuring the NS-Link device driver is to associate the MAC address of the DeviceMaster to
the device driver.
You can use the method that is appropriate to your installation:
• Same Network Segment (below)
• Different Physical Segment on Page 38
Although you can and should associate a MAC address on a different physical segment, the DeviceMaster
must be connected to the local network segment or directly to a NIC on the host system for the NS-Link driver to
operate in MAC Mode.

4.4.2. Same Network Segment

The DeviceMaster must be connected to the local network segment or directly to a NIC on the host system to
operate in MAC mode and in order for PortVision DX to detect the MAC address, otherwise you must enter the
MAC address manually.
Use the following procedure to associate a MAC address to a DeviceMaster.
1. If necessary, access the Windows Driver Management Console, click Start > Pepperl+Fuchs > Windows
Driver Management Console.
2. Highlight the Device Name of the DeviceMaster that you want to configure.
