Moving the ‘Control Cards’ Pane
The ‘Control Cards’ pane can be moved from its original position and relocated elsewhere on the
screen, where it can then be resized and positioned as desired. To move the window away from its
anchored position, left-click on the border (frame) at the top of the window and drag it to the
desired location on the screen. The label at the top of the relocated window changes to ‘Instant
Bar’.
Updating Control Cards on a Network
The name and IP address assigned to a control card can be updated at any time. Make sure when
updating an IP address that the new address is valid for your network.
How to Update Control Card Settings on a Network
1 Launch UniConfig. (See
2 Open the ‘Control Cards’ pane. (See
on page 7.) The ‘Control Card’ pane
appears, as shown in Figure 7-1.
3 Select a control card. (See
4 On the ‘Control Card’ pane, right-click on the control card you want to update and from the
pop-up menu select ‘Edit Name and IP Address’. The ‘Control Card Configuration’ dialog box

to view current router configuration
and Ethernet settings.
6 Update the ‘IP Address’ and ‘Name’ in the fields provided and click
OK

Be careful! If you change the IP address to one that is already assigned to another control card,
you will switch to that control card, not update the current control card’s IP address. Or, if you
enter an IP address that is not yet assigned to a router, then UniConfig is pointing to no control

7 To close the ‘Control Card Configuration’ dialog box, click
X
in the upper, right-hand corner.
8 Repeat steps 2 through 7 for each control card being updated.
Removing Control Cards from a Network
