Controller IP Configuration Wizard
The Controller Network Configuration wizard simplifies the process of bringing up a new Adept
controller. It guides the through setting up an IP address, and subnet mask, of the Adept controller
regardless of the current IP address of the controller and of the PC.
• You can use this wizard to set other Adept controller startup features such as use of
AdeptWindows PC as the default system user interface, and enabling auto-start (i.e., use of
the disk file AUTO.V2).
• You can record the IP address of the PC so it will be accessed as the default NFS server for
the controller.
• Lastly, you can initiate a reboot of the Adept controller, so that the configuration changes will
take effect.

Using the Controller Network Wizard
1. Before starting, verify that your PC and Adept controller connected through a network crossover
cable or through a network hub.
Note:The Controller Network Configuration wizard is only accessible if you are
logged into Adept DeskTop with the administrator (top-level) Access Level.
Note:The Controller Network Configuration Utility depends on UDP broadcasts for
its functioning. Therefore, the Adept controller and the PC running the
configuration utility must exist on the same LAN segment, either through a Cat 5
shielded crossover cable (provided with the AdeptWindows product) or a simple
network hub. Some network hubs, most network switches and bridges, and all
network routers prevent the transmission of UDP broadcasts.
