7.Processor Device Connected and Powered Up:
With your processor (and devices) connected as a network or directly to your computer, power
on all devices.
(a)
On power up the processors power status LED and LCD display will light (just the LCD display
on the older models).
(b)
If the processor has an Ethernet cable / network cable connected the Network LED (Data LED on
older models) on the front of the processor will light - once the processor initializes. If there is no
Ethernet / network cable attached it will remain off.
Note:
This does not mean that you have established a Network Connection – only that an
Ethernet or network cable is connected to the processor. Proper Network Connection and
Operation is indicated/displayed only in the software’s Network View page – see Network View
& Connection below.
(c)
Upon being powered up the processor will search for a DHCP enabled router or server to obtain
an IP address. If it locates DHCP it will connect quickly. If you are using a non-DHCP direct or
indirect connection you will have followed the instructions to connect to a single processor or
multiple processors – where DHCP is not available.
(d)
When the processor and software are connected and commands are being sent to the device
the blue Network status LED (Data LED on older models) will flash.
9. Launch NeuConsole Software:
(Getting Connected)
Upon opening the NeuConsole software you will be shown
the “NeuConsole Startup” window. It provides 3 possible
selections – New Design Project, Open Design Project, and
Start “Network View” (Network View will also be available to
you as a separate button located at the top right of the main
Project Design window once you are working on a DSP
project).

.
Network View and Connection:
(a) Click Start “Network View” from the NeuConsole Startup
window shown above.
(b) The Network View displays all processors and control devices
connected to the network plus information such as the
processor device model, a green, yellow or red network
connection indicator, the IP address, and the devices Firmware
version (as shown below).
(c) In Network View as shown at right - you should now see your processor device model
connected to the network router block and the Network Connection Indicator to the left of the
processor device model should be Green/On (meaning it is connected and operational).
