To use a driver built from wRTOS-provided source at %public%\Public Documents\IntervalZero\MaxRT\wRTOS SDK\1.0\DriverSource\, you must associate it with a network interface through wRTOS Settings.
Note: Before you can manage interfaces, you must first have converted a Windows Network device to wRTOS control. For more information, see Converting a Windows device to wRTOS. For an up-to-date list of the devices supported by a driver, see Supported NICs.
To create a new interface and associate it with your driver:
If you've already created an interface, and only need to update the interface already exists and they just need to update the driver.
- Open wRTOS Settings.
- Do one of the following:
- From the Home page, click Network. On the Network page, click Interfaces and then select the interface you want to associate with the driver.
- From any other wRTOS Settings page, click Interfaces (Contents / Network / Interfaces) in the sidebar menu.
- Under Interfaces, click Add. The Add Interface dialog appears.
- Specify a Name for the interface. The name cannot include more than 63 characters.
- Select a Real-Time NIC Driver (RTND) from the Device drop-down.
- Click Browse to browse for your driver.
- Specify the PCI bus Location of the network interface card for the interface in the form of three semicolon-separated integers. This parameter is optional if only one device of its kind is installed. The default location is 0;0;0. This field will be auto-populated when a Device is selected.
- Click Add. The interface for the selected device should now appear on the Interfaces page.
New interfaces are set to ON by default. To turn off an interface, set its toggle switch to OFF.
- You must restart the NL2 and TCP/IP Stack (if running) for your changes to take effect. If you plan to configure additional settings that will require a restart of the network, make those changes first and then restart the NL2 when you are finished. You must stop all network-enabled processes before restarting the network.
See Network Interfaces for more information.
To associate an existing interface with your driver:
- Open wRTOS Settings.
- Do one of the following:
- From the Home page, click Network. On the Network page, click Interfaces and then select the interface you want to associate with the driver.
Click the name of the interface to open the settings page for that interface.
- From any other wRTOS Settings page, click Interfaces (Contents / Network / Interfaces) in the sidebar menu, and then click the page name that corresponds with the interface you want to associate.
- Under Driver, Browse for your driver.
- You must restart the NL2 and TCP/IP Stack (if running) for your changes to take effect. If you plan to configure additional settings that will require a restart of the network, make those changes first and then restart the NL2 when you are finished. You must stop all network-enabled processes before restarting the network.
