ToolsTalk PF
Connect via USB
1) Turn on your PC and the PF, then 2) con-
nect the USB cable. Your PC should detect
the PF, which makes it possible to start TTPF
and connect to the PF using the ”serial”
option. Otherwise you need to install a USB
driver, which is available on the installation
CD of TTPF.
Connect via Ethernet
Use a crossed Ethernet cable to connect directly to the PF,
alternatively use normal cables and an Ethernet switch. Then follow
these steps to set up the network.
- Connect the cables between the switch and the PF and between
the switch and the PC
- Set the IP address, e.g. [192.168.0.?] where ? can be between 0
and 255, and the subnet mask e.g. [255.255.255.0] of the PF unit(s)
over its keyboard. In the Graph, you do the setting under Controller
-> Communication, and in the Compact, the IP address is set under
F8. Each unit needs its own unique address, but the subnet mask
must be the same. Restart the Power Focus
Then, set the IP address and subnet mask of your PC. Using
Windows XP
®
, this is done via My Computer -> Network
connections, where you right-click on Local Area Connection and
choose Properties. In the window that appears, select Internet
Protocol as indicated below, and click the button Properties. In the
window that appears, you set an IP address (unique) and the same
subnet mask as for the PF.
Remember to re-set your PC to the normal settings after the
session.
