1. Scope 

1.1 Document Purpose 

This document provides qualitative and operational information about the nControl Configuration 
Tool. 

2. Overview 

The nControl Configuration Tool provides a means to configure the network settings of an nControl 
with an unknown IP address. 

The nControl Configuration Tool is installed on all new nControl units. It automatically runs on boot 
and allows for configuration of eth0, the Ethernet port physically located furthest from the power 
supply. 

To interface with the software running on an nControl unit the nControl Configuration Tool graphical 
component must be installed on a PC. 

3. Installation 

To install the nControl Configuration Tool use the supplied installer. The configuration tool is a Java 
application and requires a Java Runtime Environment to be available on the target machine. 

During installation, the installer prompts for a destination path. By default this is 
“C:\Compass\clients\nControl Config Tool” however another destination directory can be chosen. 

To finish the installation continue to follow the prompts.
