Connecting the Maintenance PC to the
Controller
1. Connect an RS-232 straight DTE male to female serial cable between
the controller’s Maintenance port and the PC’s serial port (cable not
provided).
2. Program the PC’s serial port (from the communication program) with
the following settings:
- Baud Rate: 9600
- Data Bits: 8
- Parity: None
- Stop Bits: 1
- Flow Control: None
3. Connect a straight-through Ethernet cable (RJ-45) from the controller
leftmost Ethernet port (port 17 on the CXi; port 1 on the MXe) and the
PC’s network interface card (NIC).
4. Program the PC’s NIC with the following settings:
- IP Address: 192.168.1.n (where n is a value between 30 and 254)
- Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Powering Up the Controller
1. Connect the female end of the power cable to the controller, and
secure it with the latch (if provided).
2. Connect the other end of the power cable to a protected outlet. If
necessary turn on power switch. The controller turns on.
Verify the Connections
Perform the steps below to verify the connections between the
Maintenance PC and the controller.
1. To verify the serial connection, in the VT100 emulator, press ENTER.
- If the serial connection is installed and programmed properly, a
right-pointing arrow (→) is displayed when you press ENTER.
2. To verify the Ethernet connection, from the PC, PING the controller’s
RTC IP address (default is 192.168.1.2).
- If the connection is installed and programmed correctly, the
controller replies to the PING.
Time: The controller can take up to 10-15 minutes to start-up.
