2.2c.1 Download the AMCI Net Configurator Utility
The AMCI Net Configurator utility is available on our website, www.amci.com . The latest version available
should be used. It can be found in our Support section under Software . The program exists as a ZIP file, and at
the time of this writing, the link was “AMCI Configuration software for all networked products...”.
2.2c.2 Install the AMCI Net Configurator Utility
Once downloaded, simply extract the program from the ZIP file and run the program to install the AMCI Net
Configurator utility on your computer. The software installs as most products do, giving you the option to
change the file locations before installing the utility. Once the install is complete, a link to the utility is avail-
able on the Start Menu.
The install process only copies the utility to the designated location and creates links to the Start Menu. No
changes are made to your registry settings.
2.2c.3 Verify that Your Host Controller is Disconnected from the SV160E2
EtherNet/IP is not a multi-master protocol. There can be only one bus master on the network at a time. In
order to program the SV160E2, the AMCI Net Configurator utility must act as a bus master. Therefore, phys-
ically disconnect your host controller from the SV160E2 before starting the Net Configurator utility.
2.2c.4 Apply or Cycle Power to the SV160E2
Cycling power to the SV160E2 will reset any connections it may have with the host controller.
