Testing the Installation

Make sure that you have installed and configured the RSLinx software and
an Allen-Bradley PC ControlNet interface. The NI-FBUS Configurator
requires these components to interact with the linking device.

To make sure that your NI-FBUS software is correctly installed and is
working properly, follow these steps:

1. Restart Windows NT.

2. Start the NI-FBUS Communications Manager by selecting the NIFB

icon in the NI-FBUS menu.

On successful startup, NI-FBUS displays a message saying that NIFB
started up successfully, and the title bar of the window changes to NIFB
(running).
