Collecting license information from a TekTone NC475
Prerequisites
- Technician with admin access to facility network and permission to access the NC475.
- Laptop on the same facility LAN / subnet as the NC475.
- TekTone ConfigTool Live (LS450 / “ConfigTool”) installer — downloadable from the NC475’s web page. (TekTone Production)
Procedure — step-by-step
1) Locate NC475 facility IP and front-panel info
- Go to the NC475 front panel (or have an on-site tech do this). Scroll to Main Menu then look for Facility IP. Record the IP. (The manuals show the Facility IP is available in the NC475 UI.) (TekTone Production)
- Photograph or note the unit’s model/serial printed on the chassis label.
2) Access the NC475 web page and download ConfigTool Live (if you don’t already have it)
- From your laptop, browse to the NC475 Facility LAN IP (http://<facility-ip>). The NC475 page hosts the ConfigTool Live (LS454/LS450) download link. Download the ConfigTool Live installer. (TekTone Production)
3) Install and run ConfigTool Live; connect to the NC475
- Install the ConfigTool on your programming laptop. Close other Tek-CARE software while installing.
- Open ConfigTool Live and enter the NC475 Facility IP to connect. The ConfigTool enumerates the NC475 and connected modules. (TekTone Production)
4) Export or capture supporting evidence
- Take clear screenshots of: NC475 Main Menu → Facility IP, Help / License / System Version screen, and ConfigTool Utilities → License screens.
- If ConfigTool offers an export or save feature for system info, export and securely save the file (filename, date). (If unsure, capture full screenshots.) (TekTone Production)
Troubleshooting / common issues
- Can't reach NC475 from laptop: check that your laptop is on the same subnet as the Facility LAN IP. The NC475’s Tek-CARE network defaults to 192.168.1.xxx and may conflict with facility LAN; if there’s a subnet conflict, change your laptop’s interface to the NC475’s subnet or adjust network settings per the manual. (TekTone Production)
- ConfigTool won’t connect: confirm you entered the correct Facility IP and that firewall/AV on the laptop isn’t blocking the ConfigTool. Download the ConfigTool directly from the NC475 web page when possible. (TekTone Production)
- No license info shown: the appliance may not have license files installed (some features are licensed per module). Capture screenshots and collect LS SKU references from purchase/previous quotes if available; contact TekTone for license reconciliation. (TekTone Production)
