Selecting the LAN Adapter
To communicate on the network, the SuperFlow WComNet
program needs to know which computer LAN adapter to use.
This issue is somewhat complicated by the fact that Win-
dows95 and WindowsNT will assign LAN adapter numbers to
the various communications protocols which are capable of
carrying NETBIOS frames. There is no way for the software to
know which LAN adapter number corresponds to the NetBEUI
protocol required for communication to the SuperFlow dyna-
mometer system.
The default LAN adapter is set to LAN adapter 0 (Lana 0). If
you find that you cannot connect with the dynamometer
system using this default setting, you may need to select a
different LAN adapter number.
A utility has been included as part of the WComNet program to
aid in selecting the appropriate LAN adapter. This utility is
accessed by selecting Configure|Lan Adapter from
WComNet’s main menu.
Follow the following steps to select the appropriate LAN adapter:
1. Make sure that the dynamometer system is turned on and
connected to the network interface card in the computer.
2. Open the LAN adapter setup utility by selecting Configure|Lan
Adapter from the main menu.
3. Select a LAN adapter number by clicking on the corresponding
radio button.
4. Click on the Test button to see if WCOMNET can connect to the
dynamometer system.
5. If Comm Status in the main window changes to “Connected”, you
have found the correct LAN adapter number and you are done
(select the Done button). If Comm Status still displays “Discon-
nected”, select the next LAN adapter number and click on the Test
button again. Repeat this process until the correct LAN adapter
number is found.
6. If you still cannot connect to the dynamometer system, then the
problem lies elsewhere. Check that the cables are hooked up (also
inside the sensor box), and that they are making good connection.
Make sure that the dynamometer system is turned on, that the
