EOTec 2104 User Manual
Introducing Switch Tools
•
The EOTec 2104 Switch Status utility displays the status of all Weed Ring
Switches detected on your ring network. This is a view-only utility that allows a
user on this station to monitor the ring network.
You can install the EOTec 2104 Switch Status utility (ringstat.exe) with or independently
of the EOTec 2104 Switch Tools program. Installing only the EOTec 2104 Switch Status
utility prevents a user from making changes to the configuration in any Weed Ring
Switch. This is the option you should use to set up a computer as a monitoring-only
station.
Refer to the
EOTec 2104 Switch Status Utility
section, later in this chapter, for more
information about using this utility.
6. The EOTec 2104 Switch Tools utility uses raw Ethernet sockets. If your Windows system
does not support raw sockets, the EOTec 2104 Switch Tools utility can accommodate for
this by installing WinPcap on your computer. If this is the case, ensure the box is
checked to
Install WinPcap v3.1
when installing EOTec 2104 Switch Tools. Click
Finish
to complete the installation.
7. The software is installed on your computer. You will be able to launch the software
utilities from either of the following locations:
•
Icons for EOTec 2104 Switch Tools and EOTec 2104 Switch Status appear on
your desktop.
•
If you accepted the default location for the installation, you also can find these
tools by selecting
Weed Instrument
from your
Start
Æ
All Programs
directory.
Notice you can also select the online help separately from this location.
