User’s Guide
You cannot remove control cards from the list that are automatically detected.
Removing an added control card from the Ethernet settings list does not affect the actual
control card. Removing a virtual control card from the list does not affect its saved configuration
file (if you created one).
How to Add a Physical Control Card (Manually)
1 Verify that the router housing the control cards you will be adding is connected to an Ether-
net subnet accessible to your PC running MRC. If you are unsure of the network connections,
contact your System Administrator.
2 Go to the ‘Ethernet Settings’ page. Click Add Device. The ‘Add Device’ dialog appears.
3 Choose the ‘Add a Manual IP’ radio button and enter the control card’s IP address in the field
provided.
4 Click OK.
5 Each control card must be added separately and must have a unique IP address. Repeat this
procedure for each control card in the added router.
Creating Virtual Control Cards
“Virtual” control cards allow you to configure and save control card settings without having a
physical control card present. After a virtual control card has been created, its configuration can
be modified at will and subsequently copied to a physical control card.
Virtual control cards can created in 3 ways:
• A blank virtual control card is created using the ‘Ethernet Settings’ page.
See How to Create a Blank Virtual Control Card on page 134.
• A pre-configured virtual control card is created by copying existing control card settings from
to a new virtual control card.
