Language selection

After starting the Primary Setup Tool for the first time, a dialog box opens in which you set
the language for the program. You can also set the language separately in the Settings >
Language menu.

Selecting the network adapter

If there is more than one network adapter in your computer, you can open the Settings >
Network Adapter menu and specify which adapter is used by the Primary Setup Tool for
network access. This menu displays a maximum of four network adapters, however only
those for which the DLC protocol is activated are shown.

Browsing the Network

Before you assign IP addresses with the PST, you must first locate the configurable devices
in the network. It is only possible to search for devices if the forwarding of DCP frames is not
disabled.
Start this search with the steps outlined below:
● Select the Network > Browse menu command.
● Press the F5 function key.
● Click on the magnifier icon in the toolbar below the menu bar.
While the Primary Setup Tool browses the network, the Browse Network dialog is displayed
with a progress bar. On completion of the search, the Primary Setup Tool displays a list with
all the devices it has found in the left-hand pane.
