Connecting the iTNC directly with a Windows PC

You don’t need any large effort or special networking knowledge to

attach the iTNC 530 directly to a PC that has an Ethernet card. You

simply have to enter some settings on the TNC and the corresponding

settings on the PC.

Settings on the iTNC

Connect the iTNC (connection X26) and the PC with a crossed

Ethernet cable (trade names: crossed patch cable or STP cable)

In the Programming and Editing mode of operation, press the MOD

key. Enter the keyword NET123. The iTNC will then display the main

screen for network configuration (see figure at top right)

Press the DEFINE NET soft key to enter the network setting for a

specific device (see figure at center right)

Enter any network address. Network addresses consist of four

numbers separated by periods, e.g. 160.1.180.23

Press the right arrow key to select the next column, and enter the

subnet mask. The subnet mask also consists of four numbers

separated by periods, e.g. 255.255.0.0

Press the END key to leave the network configuration screen

Press the DEFINE MOUNT soft key to enter the network settings

for a specific PC (see figure at bottom right)

Define the PC name and drive that you want to access, beginning

with two slashes, e.g. \\PC3444\C

Press the right arrow key to select the next column, and enter the

name that the iTNC’s file manager uses to display the PC, e.g.
PC3444:

Press the right arrow key to select the next column, and enter the

file system type smb

Press the right arrow key to select the next column and enter the

following information (depending on the PC operating system):
ip=160.1.180.1,username=abcd,workgroup=SALES,password=uvwx

To exit the network configuration, press the END key twice. The

iTNC restarts automatically

Not all Windows operating systems require entry of the
username

, workgroup and password parameters.
