Summary
There are several phases to configuring an NV5256 router.
1 Use UniConfig (first) to define its network address and (second) to define its basic partitions
and specify its port types.
2 Then, use the NV9000 “browser” application or NV9000-SE Utilities to define its device con-
nections and “add” the router to the router control system.
We discuss UniConfig briefly. Refer to the NV9000 User’s Guide and the NV9000-SE Utilities
documentation for additional information.
UniConfig runs on a PC that you will connect to your router control card. In all cases, to launch
UniConfig, do either of the following:
1 Double-click UniConfig.exe in the software folder. The default pathname is:
C:\nvision\utils\UniConfig.exe
2 Double-click a UniConfig icon on your desktop:
UniConfig—Stage 1
You must assign IP addresses to the NV5256’s router control card(s) before you proceed with other
configuration steps.
1 Connect an RS-232 cable from your PC’s COM port (generally COM1) to the DE9 connector
(female) at the front of a router control card.
