Alternate Ethernet Connectivity–Adding a 2
nd
Ethernet Port to a
Laptop
A second Ethernet connection is easily installed on the laptop using a
USB to Ethernet adaptor (Totalflow recommends TRENDnet USB to
10/100Mbps Adaptor, Part No. TU2-ET100). This configuration allows
the user to keep their current laptop network settings for home or office
networking.
A Insert the USB to Ethernet adaptor in an available USB slot.
Install the software/drivers per adaptor manufacturers’
instructions. Windows generates an IP address for the
Ethernet adaptor using APIPA. Connect to the flow computer
via a crossover cable (or adaptor), and reboot the laptop.
APIPA will assign the laptop an IP address between
169.254.0.1 and 169.254.255.254 (the actual address is not
important).
B Go to the folder where PCCU is installed. Create a
PCCU32.exe shortcut, and drag to the desktop. Right-click the
shortcut, and move to Properties. Under the Shortcut tab, set
the Target to C:\PCCU32\pccu32.exe TCP:169.254.0.11, and
click Apply. Under the General tab, the user can then give the
shortcut a recognizable name (i.e., CrossoverCablePCCU).
Communications
Most wiring diagrams, including communications are available on the
web at http://www.abb.com/totalflow
. Communication pin-outs of the
XFC

and XRC

are shown on pages 8 and 9 of this guide.
The following discussion deals primarily with the unit communicating with
the Host (typically WinCCU).
