Software Installation and Configuration

Installing the
NI-FBUS Configurator Software

After you have configured and installed the linking device, you are ready to
install the NI-FBUS Configurator software.

Complete the following steps to install the NI-FBUS Configurator software:

1. Determine the ControlNet network address of the linking device or

devices from rotary address switches. Refer to Figure 2.5.

2. Using Windows NT, log in as Administrator or as a user that has

administrator privileges.

3. Insert installation diskette 1 into an unused drive.

4. Run Add/Remove Programs from the control panel or select

Start—>Run, and type:

x:\setup

where

x

is the letter of the drive containing the installation diskette

(usually a or b).

The interactive setup program takes you through the necessary steps to
install the software.

By default, the installation program installs the software in the

nifbus

directory. You can change the directory if you want to install the NI-FBUS
software into a different directory.

The installation program copies

nifb.dll

and

drvintf.dll

into your

Windows directory and adds information to the Windows NT registry.
