NI-FBUS Communications Manager won't start when PCMCIA card is configured as Basic Device and Visitor address

I can't get the NI-FBUS Communications Manager to start up unless the PCMCIA Series 2 Card is configures as Link Master. I want to Connect to a FFB Segement which already has a LAS

There must be one Link Master in the network, so please make sure that LAS is already connected. The Communication Manager can't start up if there is no Link Master in the network.

Hello,

The same case.

It means that fisically I have to connect the the PCMCIA to the actual segment (with its LAS) and then start up the NI-FBUS Comm. Manager?

Like a Basic Device and Visitor Address will let me change parameters at the devices?

Thanks in advance,

Braulio

If you set the card as Basic Device or Visitor, you have to connect it to actual segment first, with LAS connected, and then start the Communication Manager.
