Setup 

Hardware 

Network Switch 

If  using  NeuroMotive™  in  conjunction  with  the  NSP  or  CerePlex™  Direct,  obtain  a  Gigabit  network  switch  and 
plug it into the wall. 

NeuroMotive™ PC 

Plug the NeuroMotive™ PC into an outlet and connect the display, keyboard and mouse to the back of the PC.  Plug 
one end of an Ethernet cable into the Ethernet port in the back of the PC and plug in the other end into the Network 
Switch. If  using the  NeuroMotive™ Motion  Capture PC then the following diagram should clarify  which ports  to 
use for different connections: 

 

Figure 3 - Motion Capture PC Connections 

Licensing Dongle 

NeuroMotive™ also requires connection of the NeuroMotive™ Software Licensing Dongle to an 
available USB port.
