4.4.4 Allocating a Central NI
The process and rules for the allocation of a NI as a Central unit are much the same as for a
Station.
Figure 27. Allocating a Central NI.
The allocation process is as follows:
1. On the TM ET window, open the Central Interface status panel #N by clicking on ‘Cen:’ #N
tab (indicated in Figure 27 ).
2. On the #N Central Interface status panel, select the ‘Network’ button to open the ‘NI Setup’
page.
3. On the ‘NI Setup’ page, carry out the following:
3.1. Enter the ‘IP address’ of the NI that is to be used as the Central Interface for that
number.
3.2. Check the ‘Enable’ check box.
3.3. Select ‘Apply’ > ‘Close’.
4. Repeat Paras 1 to 3.3 for each Central NI on the system.
If the corresponding NI is connected to the network, communication should be established
immediately so the NI will adopt a Central mode of operation and the system Address on the NI
main window will show ‘CEN #N’. The TM central status panel will also confirm communication is
active by displaying a Green status indication (see Figure 28 overleaf).
Note.
If an IP address is entered that is the same as one already actively in use anywhere on
the TM this will be cleared back to the previous setting when ‘Apply’ is clicked.
