Adding an NrioNetwork in the station

Use the following procedure to add an NrioNetwork under the station’s Drivers container.

Perform the following steps:
  1. Double-click the station’s Drivers container, to bring up the Driver Manager.
  2. Click the New button to bring up the New DeviceNetwork dialog box.
  3. Select NrioNetwork, number to add: 1, and click OK.

    This brings up a dialog to name the network. Typically you enter a descriptive name, such as Remote_IO or something similar.

  4. Click OK to add the NrioNetwork to the station.

    A NrioNetwork named NrioNetwork (or whatever you named it), is under your Drivers folder.

  5. Open the NrioNetwork’s property sheet, and edit Port Name and Trunk values as needed.

    For example, for the onboard RS-485 port of an M2M JACE, set Port Name to COM2 and Trunk to 2.

    If necessary, add, configure, and save any additional NrioNetwork needed in a similar fashion.

  6. Click on the Save button.
  7. After the JACE reboots and the station finishes starting, reopen the station and expand the added NrioNetwork. You are now ready to Discover and add NrioModules.
