Why is my device not showing up?

Hello,

 

I am new to Fieldbus and could use some help getting started. I am having trouble seeing my device in the NI Configurator software. I have Communications manager running and it looks like I can see my NI USB-8486 adapter but I cannot see the device on the other side of the adapter.

 

I have attached a Word doc with some screen shots.

 

Thanks for any help you can give.

Hi,

 

Please get a termination and try again.

 

It seems that the device isn't powered on correctly.

 

Thanks.

You were correct, thank you. Once I added the Relcom FCS-PH-CC Terminator/Power Supply it worked.
