5-2 Setting Up a Network

Check the list of available DTMs, and verify that all the devices that need to be added to the

Network - both master and slave devices - are among the DTMs in the list.

If one or more of the DTMs is missing, these DTMs must first be installed and the Device Cata-

logue updated.

Note 1 Non-GSD file based DTMs are usually provided with their own setup program. Installation

of these DTMs must be performed outside CX-ConfiguratorFDT, e.g. from Windows

Explorer.

2 In case of DTM installations outside CX-ConfiguratorFDT, always initiate an update of the

Device Catalogue, before assembling a network. Without this update the newly installed

DTM will not appear in the list of devices. To update the Device Catalogue, press the

Update button in the Device Catalogue main window.

3 An update must also be performed when an already existing DTM is upgraded. Without the

update, the old version number will still be shown in the list. Failure to update the Device

Catalogue in this case may also result in undesired behavior, when adding these DTMs to

the Network.

 Installing New GSD Files

GSD file based DTMs can be installed from within the Device Catalogue main window. To do so, fol-

low the procedure below.

Press the Install GSD File... button at the bottom of the Device Catalogue main window (refer

to figure above). The standard windows File - Open window will be displayed.

In the File - Open window browse to the sub-directory containing the GSD file, select the (one

or more) GSD file(s) and press the Open button in the window. The GSD file(s) will be copied to

a sub-directory of the CX-ConfiguratorFDT directory.

After completing the copy, a window will be displayed, asking the user permission for an update

of the Device Catalogue (see figure below). If more GSD files need to be installed, select the No

button and continue with installation of GSD file. Otherwise, select the Yes button.
