Note: If you enter the wrong MAC address you will have to re-run
this installation program with the correct MAC address to access the device.

Acquisition Software.
Connecting the Device
After power has been applied, install the DI-789 anywhere in a chain of Synchronous Ethernet instruments. Multiple
Ethernet products may be daisy-chained together to allow for one synchronous distributed data acquisition system.
Any combination of multiple DI-789s or Synchronous Ethernet instruments may be placed in the same daisy chain.
To maintain synchronicity, Ethernet hubs and switches cannot be used between units. Make sure to enter each MAC
address during installation. Daisy-chains must be installed to your Local Area Network (LAN) — you cannot access
more than one device per IP address outside of your subnet. If you are not sure whether or not the devices are in your
subnet see your system administrator before installation. You may acquire data from only one daisy chain at a time
(i.e., the same PC cannot access two daisy chained groups at the same time).
Note: If you are installing a daisy-chained group of instruments for the purpose of synchronous distributed data
acquisition, do not allow any other units or daisy chains to be installed to your subnet. Running other devices on the
same subnet will cause the synced units to become unsynced.
1.
Connect one end of a CAT-5 Ethernet cable to the
Toward PC
port of the first Ethernet device.
2.
Connect the other end of the same CAT-5 Ethernet cable to the Ethernet port on your PC or LAN.
3.
Connect one end of another CAT-5 Ethernet Cable to the
Expansion
port on the rear of the first Ethernet device.
4.
Connect the other end of the same CAT-5 Ethernet cable to the
Toward PC
port on the second Ethernet device.
5.
Continue installing more Ethernet devices by connecting a CAT-5 Ethernet cable to the
Expansion
port of the
last device in the chain and the
Toward PC
port on the next device you are adding to the chain. Up to 32 devices
