4. In the Device Manager under „Action‟, choose „Scan for hardware changes‟. This will
prompt the installation of the adapter and associate it with the newly installed
SeaMAX driver.
The Sealevel Systems configuration utility, MaxSSD, is designed to simplify the installation,
configuration, and diagnostics of Sealevel I/O modules. MaxSSD is a Microsoft Windows application
and has been tested with Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Windows 7.
When you run the MaxSSD utility (Start  All Programs  Sealevel Systems  SeaMAX 
MaxSSD Configuration Utility) it will default to the “Host PC Configuration” tab. This tab allows
the user to choose the initial communication settings for the connected I/O device. The “COM
Port” dropdown box allows the selection of a serial COM port (from COM1 to COM256), and
Ethernet (for Ethernet and Wireless Sealevel I/O modules).
To communicate with an eI/O module, select “ETHERNET” from the “COM Port” dropdown box.
When Ethernet is selected, MaxSSD searches for any SeaI/O Ethernet or Wireless modules on the
network and displays their IP addresses in the “Available Ethernet Devices” list box (not shown).
When an IP address is selected from the list box, a socket is opened to the SeaI/O module and it
is ready for communication.
If no IP address is shown when using Ethernet modules, review the previous Hardware
Configuration section, or proceed to the Troubleshooting section at the end of this manual.
