The Client Manager
3.1 Installation
The EtherAnt II Client Manager software can be installed on a PC or workstation running Windows 98,
ME, 2000, NT, or XP. This software has a GUI (Graphical User Interface), which makes it easy to use.
The program allows you to locally or remotely perform the following procedures:
•
Display a list of EtherAnt II units running on the local network
•
Display and edit the current configuration of the EtherAnt II
•
Save and load configurations
•
Update the EtherAnt II firmware
CAUTION
The Client Manager software communicates with the EtherAnt II using a
non-routable protocol. This means that your EtherAnt II units
must
be
accessible on the same subnet as the machine with the Client Manager
installed in order to be able to use the software.
Note:
Prior to installing a newer version of the Client Manager program, you will need to remove
any older versions. (See Section 3.6, Removing the Program).
