The Ruby-Sapphire requires a different setup as shown below:

The significant difference is the fact that we are using 2 separate connections, one a regular EXTRA net work card card connected to the router on the Sapphire and a standard serial connection using the special Null Modem connector on the PC to the Ruby Master Port (normally port 5 but run a configuration report to verify the Back Office location and connect accordingly)

Downloads:

From the S2k web site download both the Regular Ruby install and the Sapphire install and run the 3 MSI/EXE install programs in the Sapphire zip folder and default to their standard locations. When you download the regular Ruby zip file all you need are the /Ruby directory and /Temp directory and copy those to /Series2000/Data/S2knet directory as usual.
