You can locate the latest device driver for Linux using one of these methods:
• Download the latest device driver: ftp://ftp.comtrol.com/dev_mstr/rts/
drivers/linux .
Note: Although the ftp link displays rts in the path, the driver supports the
DeviceMaster models discussed in this User Guide.
• Software and Documentation CD: You can use the CD to check the driver
version on the CD against the latest released version. Open the /html/
default.htm file to use the menu system, which provides you with links to
download all software and documents.
Refer to the README file packaged with the Linux driver for driver installation
and configuration procedures.
Before you install the Linux NS-Link device driver:
1. Make sure that you have programmed an appropriate network address into
the DeviceMaster.
2. Make sure that you verify that you have the latest version of SocketServer
loaded on the DeviceMaster.
If you do not want to install PortVision DX (Page 37) to check the SocketServer
version, you can:
a. Open SocketServer to check the version by opening your browser and
entering the IP address of the DeviceMaster.
b. Check the ftp site for the latest version: ftp://ftp.comtrol.com/dev_mstr/rts/
software/SocketServer .
c. If necessary, download the latest version.
Note: Technical Supports recommends that you update to the latest version of
SocketServer before installing an NS-Link device driver.
3. Install and configure the Linux device driver using the Readme file packaged
with the driver.
