3.4.8 Adding Micro-DCI Networks

If you would like to add Micro-DCI instrument networks, click on the Yes button when given the choice. The
Add Micro-DCI Networks window appears. Click the Next button.

The Setup program then starts the Super32 Network Addition program which enables you to
add Micro-DCI network instruments to your system. This is a good time to add Micro-
DCI networks to your system since you need to reboot your PC after installing the Micro-Tools
software and after you install the Micro-DCI networks.

The first Network Wizard window lets you select whether you are adding a network that
is connected to your system through a supervisor board (SUP) or though a COM port (COM).
Select either SUP or COM. Then click the Next button.

Enter a Network Name (up to a maximumm of 9 characters) in the Network Wizard - Network
Attributes
window and select a Network Position. Then click the Next button.

3.4.8.1 COM: PC Serial Com Port Network Addition

The Network Wizard - Backup window appears. Click the Next button.

The Network Wizard - Network Parameters window appears. The parameters
change depending on the type of network that is being installed.

In the Network Wizard - Finish window, click the Finish button.

A window appears confirming that the "Network was added successfully". Click the "ok" button
to proceed.

If the network was added successfully, Super32 will ask if another network is to be added. If
so, repeat the above steps until all desired Micro-DCI networks have been added. Answering
No exits Super 32 and opens the Read-Me file in a Notepad window.

3.4.8.2 SUP: MicroDCI Supervisor Network Card

The Network Wizard - Backup window appears. Select Master or Backup and then click the
Next button.

The Network Wizard - Network Parameters window appears. Set the I/O Port Address to
agree with the address jumpers on the Supervisor Board. The parameters change depending
on the type of network that is being installed.

After selecting the I/O Port Address, click the Next button.

In the Network Wizard - Finish window, click the Finish button.

A window appears confirming that the "Network was added successfully". Click the OK button
to proceed.

If the network was added successfully, Super32 will ask if another network is to be added. If
so, repeat the above steps until all desired Micro-DCI networks have been added. Answering
No exits Super 32 and opens the Read-Me file in a Notepad window.

Close the Notepad window to continue.

3.4.9 Selecting the Target Location for the Micro-Tools System

The MicroTools Target Location window appears, which enables you to specify the drive
