Software Installation and Configuration
Installing the
NI-FBUS Configurator Software After you have configured and installed the linking device, you are ready to
install the NI-FBUS Configurator software.
Complete the following steps to install the NI-FBUS Configurator software:
1. Determine the ControlNet network address of the linking device or
devices from rotary address switches. Refer to Figure 2.5.
2. Using Windows NT, log in as Administrator or as a user that has
administrator privileges.
3. Insert installation diskette 1 into an unused drive.
4. Run Add/Remove Programs from the control panel or select
Start—>Run, and type:
x:\setup
where x is the letter of the drive containing the installation diskette
(usually a or b).
The interactive setup program takes you through the necessary steps to
install the software.
By default, the installation program installs the software in the nifbus
directory. You can change the directory if you want to install the NI-FBUS
software into a different directory.
The installation program copies nifb.dll and drvintf.dll into your
Windows directory and adds information to the Windows NT registry.
