Using the NetScan Configuration Utility
NetScan must be configured before you can use it in the ethernet mode. Configuration is accomplished
through the NetScan Configuration Utility that activates after you select “NetScan” as your device type.
The utility’s window displays a “welcome” prior to prompting you through the required configuration steps.
The following steps appear in the utility’s screen prompts. Note that each “step” has a corresponding tab
(see following figure).
Note: The network interface must be properly configured before NetScan can communicate with a
computer via the ethernet. The NetScan Configuration Utility application completes this task by
sending configuration settings from your computer’s serial port to the configuration port (CONFIG)
on NetScan’s Ethernet Interface.
Step 1
Select an available serial communication port (COMM Port) from your computer.

Disconnect the network cable (10Base-T type) from NetScan’s ETHERNET connector on the Ethernet
