4. Using nControl Configuration Tool
The machine with the nControl Configuration Tool GUI installed must be connected to eth0 on an
nControl unit.
When the configuration tool is run the main window appears as seen in Figure 2. This window
consists of a menu bar, a table which will contain entries of each of the nControl units discovered,
and two buttons to refresh the table and to configure a selected unit.
4.1 Discovering nControl Units
The following process should be used for discovery of nControl units.
1)
Select the correct interface from the “Interfaces” menu (Figure 3). This will be the
computer’s built in network controller.
-
This is important if there are other interfaces installed due to VPNs or Virtual Machines.
2)
Click “Refresh Devices” and table will populate with discovered nControl units. The visible
information will be Hostname, IP Address and Serial Number (Figure 4).
-
If no units are discovered either the wrong interface is selected or there are no nControl
units connected.
-
Units that are configured with DHCP will be discovered even if they have been unable to
obtain an IP Address. If a unit has not obtained an IP address, that field will appear blank in
the table.
