Basic NXT Controller Configuration
This document covers the basic configuration of NXT controllers in Doors.NET software.
It assumes Doors.NET has already been successfully installed on your host PC, the soft-
ware license has been activated, and the gateway has been configured for your con-
troller type.
The DoorsNXTProxy.exe service must be allowed to communicate through any firewall
installed on the computer running the NXT gateway. It is automatically added to the Win-
dows firewall as an exception during the software installation. Further, a number of ports
are used by Doors.NET for communication and must be allowed to pass through a fire-
wall as well.
Adding an NXT Controller to the NXT Gateway
NXT controllers are typically added to Doors.NET using the auto-configuration feature,
however they can be manually added to the hardware tree, or replaced (if you know the
controller's MAC and IP address).
This section details the Auto-configuration process, which polls the local subnet and
NXT gateway, and automatically returns a list of all NXT controllers it finds.
1. Ensure all NXT controllers are connected to the network and are powered ON.
2. Open the Doors.NET login window by clicking on the client icon on the desktop.
3. Login to the software using the default username and password of admin / admin,
then click Connect.
4. Click the Setup tab then click Hardware Setup.
