NS-Link Device Driver Configuration

If you programmed an IP address into the DeviceMaster for your network using

PortVision DX before installing the NS-Link device driver; first associate the MAC

address to the DeviceMaster and then configure the driver with the IP address

that you programming into the DeviceMaster using PortVision DX.

NS-Link Device Driver Configuration Considerations

The following subsections discuss the NS-Link device driver features and topics

that you may want to review before driver configuration.

IP or MAC

Addressing Issues

This is an overview of IP and MAC addressing issues that may affect how you

configure the DeviceMaster with a brief discussion of advantages of each method.

Note: The default IP address for the DeviceMaster is 192.168.250.250.

The IP addressing scheme (IP mode) has the following advantages:

• Uses an IEEE industry standard protocol.

• Allows you to configure systems to use ports on the DeviceMaster that are

outside of the host system’s local Ethernet segment.

Note: This IP address must be a unique reserved IP address. Do not use an

address from a dynamic address pool. If necessary, see the system

administrator for an IP address.

The MAC addressing method (MAC mode) has the following advantages:

• Simplifies implementation and ongoing support by eliminating the address

administration issues inherent in network protocols. MAC addresses are

predefined by DeviceMaster and there is no potential for an address conflict at

setup.

• It is isolated from foreign LAN segments minimizing potential security issues.

• Maximizes throughput of serial data.
