A-3-1 Installing EDS Files
The Network Configurator can support new devices if the proper EDS files are installed.
To install the EDS file, use the following procedure.
1
Select EDS File - Install.
The Install EDS File Dialog Box is displayed.
2
Select the EDS file to install and click the Open Button. Next, select the icon file (*.ico). The
EDS file is added to the Hardware List as a new device. If the hardware already exists, the new
Hardware List will overwrite the previous one. If the hardware versions are different, a hardware
device is added to the Hardware List for each version.
The EDS files are required by the Network Configurator to create a network configuration. To create an
EDS file, use the following procedure.
1
Select EDS File - Create.
2
Set the device information. You can obtain the device information from the device on the net-
work if the network is online.

The device is added to the Hardware List as a new device, just like when you install an EDS file.
You cannot set device parameters with the Network Configurator’s EDS file creation function.
Obtain a proper EDS file from the manufacturer of the device to make device parameter settings
for the device.
