Installing the Wireless CF Adapter
In order for the MODIS™ unit to communicate with a PC,
the wireless CF adapter that came with your PCLink
software must be installed.
Important notes:
• The PCLink software can communicate with one
MODIS™ unit at a time. If you have more than one
MODIS™ unit, make sure that only the unit you wish to
communicate with has a wireless CF adapter installed.
• Make sure that the MODIS™ unit is powered off before
installing the CF adapter. Software problems can occur
if the wireless CF adapter is installed while the MODIS™
unit is powered on.
z To install the wireless CF adapter:
1. Power off your MODIS™ unit.
2. Insert the CF adapter in the top CF card slot
(Figure 2-23).
24
Non-Networked (Ad Hoc) Communication
Figure 2-23 Wireless CF adapter installation
3. Power on the MODIS™ unit.
Your wireless CF adapter is now installed.
Configuring the MODIS™ Unit
In most cases, the MODIS™ unit default IP settings allow
ad hoc communication with a computer running PCLink
software.
However, if the default settings of your MODIS™ unit have
been changed or if you have updated your MODIS™
software, you may need to verify these settings.
NOTE:
i If you have not already configured your PC, you must do
that before configuring your MODIS™ unit. See “Setting Up
the PC” on page 8 for details.
z To verify your MODIS™ unit IP settings:
1. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the USB port on
top of the MODIS™ unit.
2. Move the mouse pointer to the lower-left corner of the
screen.
