Select MICROSOFT from the Manufacturers list. Then select TCP/IP from the networks
protocol list.
Once in the proper TCP/IP protocol setup, select the 'IP Address' tab. Click on the button to
enable the field 'Specify IP Address.' Once selected, the fields for IP address and Subnet will
be enabled. In the IP address, enter a TCP/IP address for your host computer. An IP address
of 200.1.1.1 will work if the 9816 is using the factory default IP address. If the leftmost fields of
the 9816 module IP addresses are different than the factory default of 200.xxx.yyy.zzz then the
leftmost fields of the host computer’s IP address must match the module’s leftmost IP address
field. In the subnet field, a value of 255.0.0.0 can be entered for most configurations.
When these fields are entered, click the OK icons until Windows prompts you to restart your
computer (Windows
®
95/98 only). Once the computer has restarted, it should be capable of
communications with the Ethernet NetScanner
System module.
6.1.3.3 Troubleshooting with NUSS (NetScanner Unified Startup Software)
NUSS was developed by PSI to show the user how to identify, display, and perform functions of
the NetScanner
System family of modules. As such, it is an excellent troubleshooting tool.
The NUSS application and the User’s Manual are on the CD-ROM you received with your
98RK-1.
The main purpose of NUSS is to allow a personal computer (PC) to query (talk to) any
NetScanner
System module on the network. When the module(s) gets the message(s) from
the PC, it returns information about itself to the PC for display and analysis by the user.
For example, the screen depiction below shows all of the various modules on the network. For
each of the modules on the network, NUSS identifies the module serial number, its IP address,
subnet mask, Ethernet address, and power-up status, as well as the other information depicted
regarding the particular module.
