Note : If installing NCB-Fiberlons on dedicated fiber segments, skip to Step 6.
The EtherPlug configuration software provides access to IP address parameters for NCB-Etherlons and NCB-
Fiberlons as a standalone program launched directly from the Windows Start menu or as an LNS Plug-in from
within an LNS-based application such as LonMaker for Windows.
• If LonMaker for Windows is being used as the network management tool, launch EtherPlug as follows:
• Right-click on the CUSTOM (Ethernet) channel created in Step 2A above.
• In the drop-down list, click “Plug-Ins…” and select “Ether_Plug”.
• Click OK . The plug-in will appear as shown in Figure 6 below.
• If a network management tool is being used that cannot launch LNS Plug-Ins, the EtherPlug must be
launched as a standalone program directly from the Windows Start menu. Once EtherPlug is launched:
• Select File – Set Project Directory function to select the path used to save the .elp datafile for the
channel to be created. Any existing .elp files in this directory are shown in the Channels box.
• Select File – New Channel function to create a new channel. Provide a name for the channel and
Click OK.
