1. Set up your computer as described in “Setting Up the Computer” on
page 2–6. Repeat the procedure for each computer hooked up to the
system.
2. Install the DeviceInstaller software on the PC you wish to use to
configure the XG unit (s) with. See the instructions for “Software
Installations” on page 2–9.
3. Configure each XG unit with an ENET option. See the instructions
for “Configuring the Device Using DeviceInstaller” on page 2–11
4. Create terminal connections for each of the XG unit (s) with the
ENET option that were configured in step 3. See the instructions for
“Terminal Configuration” on page 2–19.
5. If more than one computer is going to be used, copy the filename.ht
files saved in step 3 to a disk and copy them over to each computer
that you will be using to access the XG unit (s) over the Ethernet. If
copying the files is not possible, repeat step 3 for each computer that

The configuration is complete. You are now ready to use your system.
Controlling Your System
For every connected XG unit, create a separate terminal session. This
should have been done according to the instructions in “Establishing
Communication with the Power Supply” on page 2–23. Also, open a
separate HyperTerminal session for each XG unit that you wish to
control. An example of two XG units in a system is shown in
Figure 2-31.
