Using PMVision 6
PMVision is a Java-based program with a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be used
to monitor and configure the INA module. Information about using PMVision on other
platforms can be found in the PMVision User’s Guide, which describes the capabilities of
PMVision in more detail.
PMVision runs on platforms that use Microsoft Windows 95, Windows 98, or NT 4.0 and
later. A platform with a 486/DX or faster processor with 32 MB RAM minimum is
required. A processor with 48 megabytes RAM is recommended.
This chapter briefly describes how to use PMVision to configure a INA module. Consult
the PMVision User’s Guide for information on using other PMVision functions. Topics
covered include:
• “Install PMVision” on page 6-1
• “Connect the Workstation to the INA Module” on page 6-1
• “Run PMVision” on page 6-2
• “Communicate with the INA Module” on page 6-3
• “Selecting PMVision Functions” on page 6-4
Install PMVision
To install PMVision on a Windows 95, Windows 98 or NT 4.0 platform, run the
pmvision_install.exe program found on the INA software CD. Follow the instructions
provided by the program.
Connect the Workstation to the INA Module
For PMVision to communicate to the module, an Ethernet connection between the
workstation and the module must exist. You can usually make the connection through
your network. A free standing workstation and a crossover Ethernet cable can be used
instead.
Over a LAN
The Ethernet address for the INA module must be set before you can use PMVision. If
the INAWizard has been already been used to configure the module, then the Ether0
address is set. The Ether0 address can also be set through a console connection and the
command line interface. See “Connect a Console (Optional)” on page 3-3 and “Set the
Ether0 Network Address” on page 5-3.
