Rockwell Automation 2708-NNM Network Manager Software - Manual (Page 8)

Chapter 1
Introduction
1–2
If you want to take full advantage of the programming aids, NM must have
access to both LXB.EXE (the A-B VBASIC compiler) and the Visual BASIC
(VB) library directory. In order to find LXB, it should either be copied to the
NM directory or you should add
SET LXB = C: \ LIB \
or another valid pathname in your AUTOEXEC.BAT so that NM can find it.
Also you may have to add:
LIB = C: \ VB \
or the correct path to the QB45 library directory. You can make NM available
from any directory by adding:
NM = C: \ NM \
or the correct path to the NM directory in your AUTOEXEC.BAT.
What Part of this Manual Should I Read?
The section on CONNECTIONS & PARAMETERS should be all that is
necessary to read for the individual doing the installation and testing of the
network.
The sections on THE MENUS, THE BASICS & RETRIEVING DATA
should be all that is necessary to read for the individual whose responsibility
it is to collect the data from the workstations.
The Systems Integration individual should be familiar with the entire
Network Manager Manual.
Which Keys should I Know About?
All of the functions are started by pressing a function key or the highlighted
letter corresponding to that function key. References to keys in this manual
will look like the following:
Press < F4 > / ’P’ to ....
where < F4 > represents the forth function key and ‘P’ represents the
highlighted letter of that function.
To back out of a menu, press the ESCAPE key. References to the ESCAPE
key in this manual will look like this:
Press < ESC > to ....
where < ESC > represents the ESCAPE key.
Usually < F1 > / ‘H’ will give a screen of help in the current area of interest.
To get rid of the help text, press < ESC >.
