How To Set Up Network Controller
Paths For Programming And Monitoring
New RAM Drive Version Only
There are two paths that must be configured in order to Program and
Monitor the Network Controller
Programming path: \\nc1\tc85dir
This is the factory default path for uploading card programming
changes and system configuration files.
The path, \\nc1\tc85dir targets the Flash Memory Card
Monitoring And Transaction Retrieval
path: \\nc1\logfiles
This is the factory default path for monitoring Real Time Events,
and for downloading transaction data using Report Manager
The path \\nc1\logfiles targets a RAM drive that is created each
time the Network Controller boots up. At that time, this file is populated
with transaction activity backed up on the flash memory card. When new
transactions are generated, they reside on the RAM drive, and are periodically
backed up to the flash memory card in case of power failure.
Report Manager
In order to download transaction data from the Network Controller,
you will need to add the Monitoring path statement to your list of
paths. Click the Refresh button to access that file. You may add as many
path statements as there are Network Controllers.
When you double click the monitoring path, transactions will be downloaded
to your local PC using the following path: c:\tc85dir\tclog1.txt.
This file is overwritten each time transactions are downloaded, so
if you want to save this data, rename the file prior to your next download.
