PT-Link II Interface 10
Connecting To The PT-Link II
NOTE: The preferred method of confi guration is to use the DIP
Switches on the Protocessor board unless your address
setting needs to be greater than 255.
1.) In order to communicate and program the PT-Link II you will
need to install RUINET software on your computer. If you do not
have the software, it is available for downloading at www.orioncon-
trols.com/software-new.html under PT-Link II Software
WARNING:
Make sure to load RUINET onto your hard drive
and run the program from your hard drive. DO NOT under any
circumstances run RUINET from your cd drive.
2.) If RUINET is in the desktop directory (if it isn’t, locate its direc-
tory), double-click on RUINET, and the RUINET program should
run. Initially, you might see the screen below (Figure 10).
3.) Type
<Y>
to sync the Date/Time on your PC. The following
screen will appear (Figure 11). Press any key to continue.
Running RUINET

4.) The following screen may appear (Figure 12). Type <I> for
Specify IP Address and the message “Enter IP Address of the Field
Server to Connect to” will appear on the screen.
5.) Type the IP Address of <192.168.1.24> and press <Enter> .
6.) If you have only one PT-Link connected to the network, then RU-
INET will automatically connect to that particular PT-Link; otherwise,
a menu will appear to allow the selection of the desired PT-Link.
NOTE: If RUINET is unable to establish a connection, there
are a few simple procedures you can perform to try to
determine the problem. To verify your network cables,
observe the green LED displayed directly above and
to the right of the Ethernet port. This LED should be
on if the 10 BaseT cable is good. Secondly, observe
the red LED displayed directly above and to the left
of the Ethernet port. This LED should be solid while
RUINET is running. If the LEDs are lit as expected,
and RUINET still does not receive replies, then the
netmask is probably incorrect. If this does not help,
then your Ethernet setup on your PC is possibly not
compatible. Ensure that you have an Ethernet adapter
installed in your software confi guration and that it is
confi gured to run the TCP/IP protocol. If you are still
unable to connect, please contact WattMaster Controls.
