After starting the Primary Setup Tool for the first time, a dialog box opens in which you set

the language for the program. You can also set the language separately in the Settings >

Language menu.

network access. This menu displays a maximum of four network adapters, however only

those for which the DLC protocol is activated are shown.

Browsing the Network

Before you assign IP addresses with the PST, you must first locate the configurable devices

in the network. It is only possible to search for devices if the forwarding of DCP frames is not

disabled.

● Press the F5 function key.

● Click on the magnifier icon in the toolbar below the menu bar.

While the Primary Setup Tool browses the network, the Browse Network dialog is displayed

with a progress bar. On completion of the search, the Primary Setup Tool displays a list with

all the devices it has found in the left-hand pane.
