Required hardware:
– 1 LIP : Router
– PcVue 11 onwards (With the adequate license)
– NL220 Turbo Edition (With the adequate license)
– 1 API at least
– LINX (if possible) : Switch 

The configuration need to be done on :
1- The LIP Web Interface: Every LIP need to be connect to the network by specific IP adress
2- NL220 software: Declaration of all the equipements (LIP, LINX and API)
3- PcVue: To connect the equipments and display the data

NB: After the installation of NL220, you need to configure the Network card, follow the step described below

I- Configuration of the LIP

To configure the LIP there is two possibilities

     1- On LIP web interface

         a- You need to define which LIP is the server (only one can be made as server on your architecture) 

     b- Configure all address IP for other equipments such as : LINX, other LIP …, Add the IP address of the machine where NL220 is used

NB : All the equipments need to have in state column a green check (be enable)

     2- On Echelon Configuration Server

Declare the IP address of the machine where is used the NL220 and declare all the IP addresses of the equipments.

II- Configuration of NL220

At startup of NL 220: if a license is connected you can create a new project, otherwise you must start the project DEMO

       1- Lunch the SmartChannel

First you need to select “Attaché”, then follow the steps bellow

       2- Insert all the equipment of your infrastructure (LIP, LINX)

             A- Select the adequate equipment

             B- Install/ commission of the equipment: Right click on the LIP -> Network -> Install

             C- Insert the Neuron ID

Three possibilities
