6 Configuration

6.1 Introduction

Before powering the MicroFlex e100 you will need to connect it to the PC using a USB or Ethernet cable and install the supplied Mint Machine Center software. This software includes a number of tools to allow you to configure and tune the MicroFlex e100. If you do not have experience of software installation or Windows applications you may need further assistance for this stage of the installation.

6.1.1 Connecting the MicroFlex e100 to the PC

The MicroFlex e100 can be connected to the PC using either USB or TCP/IP.

To use USB, connect a USB cable between a PC USB port and the MicroFlex e100 USB port. Your PC must be using Windows 2000 or Windows XP.

To use TCP/IP, connect a CAT5 Ethernet cable between the PC and one of the MicroFlex e100 Ethernet ports.

CAUTION: You cannot connect an ordinary office PC to the MicroFlex e100 without first altering the PC’s Ethernet adapter configuration. However, if you have installed a second Ethernet adapter dedicated for use with the MicroFlex e100, then this adapter’s configuration can be altered without affecting the PC’s office Ethernet connection. If you are unsure about making changes to your PC’s Ethernet adapter configuration, or are prevented by user permission levels, ask your I.T. administrator to assist you.

CAUTION: If there is a EPL manager node (node ID 240) on the Ethernet network, then the network will be operating in EPL mode. This means any TCP/IP connection from the PC must pass through an EPL compatible router.

6.1.2 Installing Mint Machine Center and Mint WorkBench

You will need to install Mint Machine Center (MMC) and Mint WorkBench to configure and tune the MicroFlex e100. Any previous version of Mint WorkBench must be uninstalled before proceeding with this installation:

1.Insert the CD into the drive.

2.After a few seconds the setup wizard should start automatically. If the setup wizard does not appear, select Run... from the Windows Start menu and type

d:\start

where d represents the drive letter of the CD device.

Follow the on-screen instructions to install MMC (including Mint WorkBench). The setup wizard will copy the files to appropriate folders within the C:\Program Files folder, and place shortcuts on the Windows Start menu.
