Setting up Devicenet for first time.

[Darin Thomas]

I am new to both LabView and DeviceNet. I am trying to evaluate a simple network and determine if it will suit my needs. I have a DeviceNet PCMCIA card that was identified and installed on XP. The Hardware Configuration utility recognizes it, but not my DNET MFC (which is an MKS 1179A MFC.) I have tried resetting the system and refreshing, but to no luck. The MFC has MSD set to "0" and the LSD set to "1".

Hi Darin,

With NI-DNET you can use the SimpleWho utility to detect any device connected to the network. The NI-DNET interface will query the device info of any attached device.

I'm not sure what you mean by the MFC. Is it a device?. Is it detected by simple Who?.
