Precautions
Observe these precautions when installing the In-Sight wafer reader to reduce the risk of injury or
equipment damage:
• The wafer reader is intended to be supplied by a Cognex power source (24V ±10%).
Any other voltage creates a risk of fire or shock and can damage the In-Sight
hardware.
• Do not install the wafer reader in locations that directly expose it to environmental
hazards such as excessive heat, dust, moisture, humidity, impact, vibration, corrosive
substances, flammable substances, or static electricity.
• To reduce the risk of damage or malfunction due to over-voltage, line noise,
electrostatic discharge (ESD), power surges, or other irregularities in the power
supply, route all cables and wires away from high-voltage power sources.
• Although the wafer reader is a Class 1 LED Product, it is not recommended to stare
directly into the illumination LEDs when the wafer reader is receiving power. Note
that the In-Sight 1722 wafer reader LEDs emit infrared light, therefore the illumination
LED lights are not visible.
• Do not open the wafer reader. This device does not contain user-serviceable parts.
Do not make electrical or mechanical modifications to the In-Sight hardware. The
LED emitted light levels have not been tested when the wafer reader is open,
therefore Class 1 LED Product certification is not guaranteed if the wafer reader is
open. Unauthorized modifications violate your warranty.

2.1 Install the In-Sight Software on a Windows PC
The In-Sight wafer reader may be configured, and its operation monitored, over an Ethernet
network from a PC. A wafer reader, accessed from a networked PC, is configured using
mouse and keyboard input.
There are two installation options available on the In-Sight CD-ROM: the .NET User Interface
(standard interface) and the wafer reader Legacy Installation (Java Applet). The installation
options refer to the graphical user interface of the wafer reader, but do not affect the
programmatic (serial or TCP/IP) communication. The .NET user interface is a Microsoft
Windows®.NET graphical user interface, while the legacy installation is a Java applet. The
legacy installation should only be used for backward compatibility in a legacy situation, such
as directly replacing an older, Java-based wafer reader or if your PC does not support
Microsoft Windows .NET (for example, if the PC is running on a Windows NT operating
system). The instructions in this manual pertain only to the .NET User Interface installation.
For installation instructions and for more information regarding supported applet features,
refer to the In-Sight®1700 Series Wafer Reader User Manual, included with the legacy
installation.
NOTE The wafer reader .NET user interface and the legacy Java applet can be installed on the same PC.
The standard interface is accessed from the In-Sight Explorer application. The Wafer ID View
is the default view from In-Sight Explorer. In-Sight Explorer allows you to:
• Easily configure the IP address and other network settings.
• View all wafer readers on the network, including In-Sight 1700 and 1701 wafer
readers running the Java applet.
• Manage job files between different wafer readers.
• Remotely configure or debug wafer readers from anywhere on the network.
• Upgrade firmware on multiple wafer readers simultaneously.
• Drag-and-drop job and image files from the local PC to any wafer reader on the
network.
• Copy files from one wafer reader and paste it to another wafer reader.
• Perform file operations, including FTP operations, backup, restore and clone.
• Configure startup conditions such as the startup job and Online mode.
• Set access levels and user privileges.

Set Up the PC
4
In-Sight Explorer can connect to both In-Sight 1720 series wafer readers running the new
.NET user interface and to legacy In-Sight 1700 and 1701 readers running the Java applet
interface. If an In-Sight 1700 or 1701 wafer reader is double-clicked in the In-Sight Explorer
Network pane, the Java applet Browser View will open within the In-Sight Explorer interface
for the selected wafer reader.
If you plan to continue using Microsoft Internet Explorer, you can also launch the .NET user
interface from Internet Explorer to configure and monitor Wafer ID applications on the wafer
reader. For more information, refer to Section 4.2.2.
The following must be installed on the PC:
• Microsoft Windows®XP Professional (Service Pack 2 or higher) or Windows 2000
(Service Pack 4 or higher) for In-Sight software version 3.x.x and higher
• Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 SP1 for In-Sight software 3.x.x and higher
• Network Interface Card (at least 100Mbps) for connecting to In-Sight wafer readers
• Internet Explorer 5.0.1 or higher
NOTE In-Sight software can be used only on a local subnet that includes a networked In-Sight wafer reader.
Perform the Following Steps to Install the In-Sight Software:
1. Shut down any applications on your PC.

NOTE From the Wafer ID 3.x.x program group, select the Release Notes for current information about In-Sight
software, including new features, fixes and known issues. Registered In-Sight users can download
updated versions of In-Sight documentation at:
www.cognex.com/support/In-Sight.asp.
2.2 Determine the Network Configuration
The In-Sight wafer reader is designed to operate as a host system on an Ethernet TCP/IP
network. For the purposes of the instructions in this manual, an In-Sight network exists
whenever one or more wafer readers can be accessed remotely from another host on the
network.
The wafer reader may be used in several possible network configurations. For each
configuration, the wafer reader is configured using either the In-Sight software or a Microsoft®
Internet Explorer browser, which also provides the remote display for that wafer reader.
2.2.1 Standalone In-Sight Network Configurations
A standalone In-Sight network configuration includes a direct connection between a wafer
reader and a PC equipped with a network card. In this configuration, the wafer reader and the
PC are on a non-DHCP network. For information on configuring your PC’s network settings
on a non-DHCP network, refer to Section 2.3.
The In-Sight 1720 series wafer reader has an Autosense capability, allowing the wafer reader
to connect directly to a PC using either a standard CAT5 network cable or a CAT5 crossover
cable. In this configuration, neither the PC nor the wafer reader is connected to the larger, fab
floor network.
NOTE If the Microsoft "Media Sense" feature, which automatically detects whether or not your network
interface is linked to a network, is enabled when running Microsoft Windows 2000 or XP, communication
with an In-Sight wafer reader may not be established. It is recommended to use a hub or switch with a
standard Ethernet cable to configure the In-Sight wafer reader or configure your PC to disable the Media
Sense feature. See Microsoft Knowledge Base article 239924 for details on this process.

Configurations Using Switches/Routers
An In-Sight network may be extended to include multiple wafer readers by using an Ethernet
switch or network router. The only limit on the size of this type of network is the number of
routers or switches connected and the number of connections they provide.
To install multiple wafer readers on a standalone In-Sight network, use a switch/router
between the wafer readers and the remote host. Make all connections via standard, straight-
pinned CAT5 cables (Figure 2-2).

2.2.2 Fab Floor In-Sight Network Configurations
To take full advantage of its networking capabilities, the wafer reader can operate as a host
on the larger, fab floor network. The only physical difference between fab floor-networked
wafer readers and a standalone wafer reader network is that the switch/router is connected
directly to the network.
Groups of wafer readers connected to the fab floor network through a common switch/router
are referred to as a local network. Figure 2-3 shows a local network that includes several
wafer readers and a PC.
