Attaching Main Hardware
1
Remove the protective label on the bottom of the data
logger.
2
Connect the data logger to the vNet device.
3
Connect the vNet device to the power supply and
Ethernet outlet. When power is supplied to the vNet
device, the red power LED will blink for 7-8 seconds,
then stay on. When a network connection is made, the
LNK LED will light up and stay on, and the ACT LED will
blink intermittently.
Note:
To ensure a secure connection, insert the power
supply barrel-end connector into the device and
turn 1/4 to the right (see Figure 3 on page 3).
However, if your network supports Power over
Ethernet, you do not need to connect to an exter-
nal power supply .
Installing Drivers Using Device Setup
Device drivers must be installed in Windows
®
for
each
of the
vNet or Digi devices that are connected to the network. This
allows the Veriteq software to access the data loggers.
Use the instructions in this section if the drivers will be
installed on a PC that is on the
same
subnet as the vNet or
Digi devices. If the PC is on a
different
subnet, use the
Installing Drivers Using RealPort Setup
section instead.
1
Obtain an IP address for each of the vNet or Digi devices
from your IT department. They should either be reserved
IP addresses supplied by DHCP or static IP addresses. If
the IP addresses are being reserved, the DHCP server
must be updated
before
you proceed with the installation.
2
Insert the Veriteq vNet Device Drivers CD into the PC. If
the Software Installation menu does not display
automatically, click
Start
on the Taskbar, then select
Run
. Type
D:\setup.exe
(replace ‘D’ with the drive letter
of your CD-ROM drive), then click
OK
.
