[. . . ] Vi6 CobraNet® card Setup Guide This guide describes how to use a laptop PC running the CobraNet Discovery® utility, to ® configure the settings of the Vi6 CobraNet card (applies to both Local Rack and Stagebox versions of the card) The configuration of the Vi6 card will be dictated by the network or other devices that are being connected to the card, so it is not possible to give exact details for individual parameters. It is recommended that setting up a CobraNet® network is carried out by an experienced person, but if more information is required, useful documents can be downloaded from the CobraNet. info website, on http://cobranet. info/en/products/pro/detail/P1107. html 1. [. . . ] In the Local Area Connection box, select the `Advanced' tab at the top, and then click the Windows Firewall `Settings' button: Make sure the firewall is set to OFF. Click OK on all dialogues to exit the Local Area Connection properties. Note you will have to reverse the above settings 1-4 if you subsequently need to connect the laptop to a business LAN, so it is best to use a separate network port if available. 3. Setting up CobraNet Discovery to configure the Vi6 CobraNet® card 1. Power up the Vi6 and connect the laptop's Ethernet port to the Primary port on the ® CobraNet card. This should be done with a crossover Ethernet cable, but depending on the laptop, a `straight' cable can be used, if the laptop supports both cable types. Alternatively, a network switch can be connected between the Laptop and the CobraNet® card, in this case `straight' cables would be used. ® Using a switch also enables several other CobraNet devices to be connected to the laptop at the same time as the Vi6, and their configuration inspected and changed if necessary to match the Vi6. Both LEDs on the Cobranet should start flashing when connected to the laptop. Start the CobraNet Discovery program and go to Tools/Options. In the top section of the dialogue, select the network controller that your laptop is using for the Ethernet port you have connected the module to. [. . . ] If necessary, the Name, Location and Contact fields can be changed to identify the console in more detail.
