55 CobraNet Discovery

55.1 Introduction

The Praesideo CD-ROMs prior to version 3.3 contained a CobraNet Discovery program to assign

IP addresses to connected CobraNet Interface units, and a program called CNConfig to change the value of CobraNet parameters of connected CobraNet devices. From version 3.3 onwards, Praesideo is delivered with a later version of CobraNet Discovery that is also able to change the value of CobraNet parameters, making CNConfig redundant. Therefore it is not delivered anymore with Praesideo. CobraNet Discovery is in English only.

This manual applies to CobraNet Discovery

Version 3.4.4 and 3.4.5. CobraNet Discovery runs on a Windows PC and communicates with a CobraNet network through the PC's standard Ethernet network interface card (NIC). CobraNet Discovery's primary role is to discover and monitor status of CobraNet devices. It can also be used to assign IP addresses to devices, update firmware, control and monitor the configuration of devices and generate status reports.

Note

Basic understanding of CobraNet networks and technology is assumed to configure CobraNet devices. The Praesideo DVD contains some documents about CobraNet technology in the folder \Manuals. More information can be found on www.cobranet.info, where you can also find the latest version of CobraNet Discovery. This website is maintained by Cirrus Logic, the owner of CobraNet.

55.2 Installation

CobraNet Discovery is supported and tested under Windows NT 4.0, 2000, XP and Vista. Operation under Windows 95, 98 and ME is not supported. The PC running CobraNet Discovery must contain a properly configured Ethernet network interface card.

Because Discovery installs and uses a device driver to send and receive CobraNet packets, administrative privileges are required to install and run Discovery.

Install CobraNet Discovery on a PC, following the Installshield Wizard. If previous versions of Discovery were installed before, you may have to select the option Remove all installed features first and then restart the setup program.

Warning messages concerning removal of read-only files during un-installation may be safely ignored. Some previous versions of Discovery erroneously installed system files in a read-only mode.

The Discovery installation creates a default program folder C:\Program Files\Cirrus Logic\CobraNet Discovery, in which you can also find specific Discovery release notes and a more extensive manual.

Note

On networks with more than 20 CobraNet devices it may be necessary to add a "[configuration]Age To Die = 30000" entry in your cndisco.ini file to stabilize the Discovery display. This file is located in the program folder.
