Troubleshooting the LAN Interconnection
Software does not install properly
•
Make sure your installation CD is not damaged.
•
When Microsoft
®
.NET™ Framework is not installed make sure that your PC is
to the internet connected during installation of the Software. If no internet
connection is available, use the .NET™ Framework that is available on the
installation CD.
Software cannot detect any 835-3:
•
Make sure you have connected both PC and 835-3 to a common network.
•
If a direct connection is used, make sure you use an appropriate crossover
Ethernet cable (10 and 100Mbit LAN only). Note that detection of the 835-3 can
take several seconds.
•
Make sure that your (software) firewall enables the 835-3 software to setup a
TCP/IP connection within the LAN. Under Windows XP you can do that like this:
Open Control Panel under Settings in your Start menu. Then go to Windows
Firewall. Click on Exceptions and then add Program. If the Software is in this list
choose it and click OK otherwise you have to browse for the path to BNC
Software. Finally close all open dialogs with OK. Now your Windows™ Firewall is
ready for 835-3.
Shutting Down the Model 835-3
Press the Line on/off switch on the rear panel to off.
3. Using the Graphical User Interface (GUI)
BNC’s graphical user interface provides an intuitive control of the 835-3. It runs under
any Windows™ 2000, XP or Vista operating system. Make sure the software is installed
properly and the computer’s firewall configured properly.
Start the Model 835-3 GUI
Double-click the 835-3 shortcut that will appear on your desktop after the software has
been successfully installed.
After start, the software will automatically detect existing 835-3 instruments. In the
CONTROL tab (see Figure 3) the detected Devices are displayed. Clicking on one of the
devices will instantly establish connection. Clicking on a different device will disconnect
the old device, and connect to the selected device. By clicking on the Refresh button, a
scan for new devices is started.
