TCP/IP Manager
The TCP/IP Manager allows you to easily manage all DI-789, DI-720, DI-722, DI-730, DI-785, and DI-788 Ethernet
Instruments installed on your PC. The TCP/IP manager is installed when installing W
IN
D
AQ
Software. Access the
TCP/IP Manager via the Windows program group specified during W
IN
D
AQ
Software installation (default is
Start >
Programs > WINDAQ > IP Manager
). For help with TCP/IP settings and the TCP/IP Manager see the help files
accessible in the application (press F1 to access context-sensitive help or use the Help menu).
The main TCP/IP window shows all Ethernet devices installed on your PC. Devices could be busy or unavailable if
there are multiple users. If you entered the wrong MAC address during installation, the status of the device will be
“Off Line.” “UnSynced” devices are all single units installed to your network (units that are not daisy-chained).
Synced Groups are daisy-chained instruments. There is one Synced Group for each daisy chain. Each Synced Group
is named using the first device in the chain (in parentheses).
Use the drop down command menu to change the description of a device. All commands are performed by first
selecting a device, then using the drop down command menu. Multiple devices in the same Synced Group may be
selected for a recording session by using the Shift or Control key. Multiple Synced Groups cannot be accessed by the
same PC at the same time.
