4. Test the system connections.
a. Make sure the device has been properly installed and is powered-on.
b. Make sure all cables are properly and securely connected.
c. Click the “Test Hardware” tab.
d. Click the <TCP/IP Test> button. This tests the Transmission Control Protocol / Internet
Protocol.
The TCP/IP test results have two components: Pinging Device and TCP Connection.
Appendix B, TCP/IP and Resource Tests, includes a brief explanation of each.
e. Upon completion of the TCP/IP test, click the <Resource Test> button.
The Resource Test consists of two components: Resource Tests and Performance Tests.
Appendix B, TCP/IP and Resource Tests, includes a brief explanation of each.
When testing a ZonicBook/618E, if the unit does not respond after 30 seconds perform the
following steps:
1) reboot the system
2) upon power-up, re-open the Daq* Configuration applet
3) select another configuration setting
4) reinitiate the test
This completes the procedure for connecting a ZonicBook/618E to the Ethernet. At this point you should
refer to other sections of the manual, e.g., information on system expansion and data acquisition.
Reference Notes:
Although the signal conditioning aspect of the WBK18 is inherent in the ZonicBook/618E and
is therefore discussed in this manual, specific WBK18 documentation is presented in the
WBK Options Manual (p/n 489-0902).
Note: You can access PDF documents directly from the opening screen of the data acquisition CD
via the <View PDFs> button.
Connecting Data Acquisition Signal Lines
The 8 analog channel inputs (CH1 through CH8) and 4 tachometer channel inputs (TACH1 through
TACH4) are made through front panel BNC connectors. 8 digital I/O lines can be connected to the
removable screw terminal block as applicable, and as discussed in Chapter 3, Connectors, Indicators, and
Cables.

Prior to making signal connections review the Specifications chapter to ensure that signal inputs do not
exceed the specified limits.
