Section 2. HARDWARE INSTALLATION
EMUFDD installation works like any other real floppy drive installation:
•2.1) connect the power supply;
= +12V power supply (not connected) Optional
= two GND lines (joined, connect one or both) Required
= +5V power supply Required
•2.2) connect the 4pin flat cable.
= pin-1 mark (flat cable / connector)
No system driver or additional software needs to be installed on the host system.
Be s re to match the connector pin-1 mark with the flat cable pin–1 mark !
Sometimes flat cables are inverted. Please check whether the cable is
colo red/marked at pin-1 (standard) or pin-34 (inverted) !

Section . NETWORK INSTALLATION
EMUFDD is a true Ethernet 10Mb full-duplex device:
•full POSIX / WinSock 2 software compatibility on the PC server;
•full T P/IP & RJ45 hardware compatibility on the EMUFDD;
•no need to install any extra driver on both the PC server and the machinery;
•no need to install any extra hardware on both the PC server and the machinery.
•.1) after hardware installation connect (using the RJ45 front connector) all the
EMUFDDs to the local network, that will be using only
static IP addresses (WINXP , WIN7 ). It's possible to use many EMUFDDs,
grouped using a network switch/router. It's also possible to use a single
EMUFDD, connected point-to-point to the PC server;

Point-to-point connection (1 EMUFDD)

•.2) each EMUFDD needs to be configured with an IPv4 address, the local
network submask and, in case you're using a router, the router/gateway
address. The configuration is loaded into the EMUFDD using a
“emufdd.tcp” text file, on a USB key. Plug the USB key in, press LOAD
and wait until the device will auto-reset (all leds blink very fast);

•. ) each EMUFDD can be reconfigured how many times you need and you're
completely free to change the local network at any time. To check that the
EMUFDD is correctly configured you can use the standard “ping” (check IP
address) and “arp” (check MAC address) DOS commands;

•.4) download the latest network software, always & freely available. The
software is completely portable, doesn't need any installation and can run in
user mode. All your settings will be saved in a “emufdd.ini” file (don't
delete it !);
•.5) run “EmufddEthPanel”. For each EMUFDD connected to the local
network apply the following configuration steps:
•Click New and a new EMUFDD connection will be created;
•Go to the [1] Config right panel;
•Change the Name (<New Device>) with the name of the machinery;
•Insert the EMUFDD's IPv4 network address and port in EMUFDD NetAddr;
( see .2 “emufdd.tcp”: [emi] = xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; [emp] = xxx; )
•If you have more than one network interface on your PC, then insert its IP
address in PC NetAddr. Otherwise leave 0.0.0.0:0 = default network;
•Click Select EMUFDD Configuration and select the .cfg file that the
customer assistance will send you, to connect to the machinery;
•Now the EMUFDD connection is configured.

Section 4. WIRELESS NETWORKING
EMUFDD is a true Ethernet 10Mb full-duplex device and is transparent to any standard
wireless bridge and/or extension. Customers can ask to get our official wireless extension
or install any off-the-shelf full duplex product.
#1
Server
#2
Machinery Operator
#3
#4
Example: Different machinery #1 (= plastic injection), #2 (= EDM), #3 (= robot) and #4
(= wood working) are uniformly connected to the same WLAN. Machinery operator is
able to access locally, in front of the machinery, all the programs that are phisically
stored only in the remote server. Extremely easy and fast uploading and downloading,
using any common Windows based tablet.

Section 5. INTRODU TION & EMULATION Y LE
EMUFDD is equipped with 1.5 MB of internal FRAM non-volatile memory:
•no need to keep the USB key plugged in;
•top-quality data storage and memory reliability (1014 read/write cycles);
•unlimited permanent internal memory (no battery, fully RoHS).
More than 50 years of non-stop read/write emulation at full speed.
Each EMUFDD can be used by different users with different skills:
•normal users can be allowed to load-only floppy disks (playback);
•advanced users can have full access to the program floppy disks;
•special floppy disks can be permanently write protected;
•simplified access available: 1 USB key = 1 floppy disk.
Just ask for your version, fully customized for your everyday's usage !
At power-on EMUFDD immediately (less than 500ms) begins its emulation cycle:
•the emulation engine waits for reading or writing requests from the host system,
and any read/write floppy disk access will turn the ACT_LED on;
•the display continuously shows the On-Line sequence: [– ] / [ –].
