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.
