Installation
Device Management Utility
The Device Management Utility that is included with NETRS2321E
(EM.exe) is used to detect and setup the installed adapter. When this
tool is installed and activated, it will detect the existence of the installed
adapter, and depict its status including IP Address, Subnet Mask,
MAC Address and Device ID as shown below. The Setup Tool can only
configure one adapter at a time, therefore if there are multiple adapters
installed on the network, please ensure that they are not connected (or
shut down) prior to installation.
Due to the nature of broadcast UDP packets, EM has the following
characteristics:
•
Broadcast packets are not limited by subnet. Even if the IP Address
of the converters and the computer running EM do not belong to the
same subnet, it will still function correctly.
•
Broadcast packet signals cannot be passed through a router. EM
can only be used to monitor devices with EM installed, in the same
segment of the LAN.
To begin using the Device Management Utility, copy the file titled
EM.exe from the Driver CD that accompanied your NETRS2321E
purchase, to your desktop. The file can be located in the following path
on the Driver CD:
E:\IO_over_IP\Utilities\Em (E: represents the CD/DVD-ROM drive)
Once the file has been copied to the desktop, connect NETRS2321E
to your LAN, using the available LAN port. Connect the included power
adapter (9V DC, 500mA) to the power port provided on NETRS2321E.
Wait for a few moments for the device to be detected, and double click
on the EM.exe icon to launch the application:
