Install Mint WorkBench
The Windows user account requires administrative user rights to install Mint
WorkBench. To install Mint WorkBench from new.abb.com/motion, download the
application and run it.
Configure the PC Ethernet adapter
It is necessary to alter the PC's Ethernet adapter configuration to operate correctly
with the MicroFlex e190. By default, the MicroFlex e190 has a static IP address of
192.168.0.1. This can be changed using the Configuration tool in Mint WorkBench.
NOTE! You cannot connect an ordinary office PC to the MicroFlex e190
without first altering the PC's Ethernet adapter configuration. However, if you
have installed a second Ethernet adapter dedicated for use with the MicroFlex e190,
the
n this adapter's configuration can be altered without affecting the PC's office
Ethernet connection. A USB to Ethernet adapter is a convenient way to add a second
Ethernet adapter to a PC. If you are unsure about making changes to your PC's
Ethernet adapter configuration, or are prevented by user permission levels, ask your
I.T. administrator to assist you.
The following explanation assumes the PC is connected directly to the
MicroFlex e190, and not across an intermediate Ethernet network. If you wish to
attempt the connection through an intermediate Ethernet network, then the network
administrator must be consulted to ensure that the necessary IP address is allowed
and is not already allocated on the network.
