BB2-7040 User Guide – Rev. 1.2 Page 4
2 Out of the Box – Connecting for the First Time
You only need to connect 24V power and Ethernet to begin working with the BB2-7040. Connect the Ethernet via a
switch (or crossover cable) as you would any other Ethernet network device.
Upon power-up, the embedded server will take about a minute to boot up. A blue LED should be visible inside the
device indicating power is present. Both the Ethernet Link and Activity LEDs should light up upon power-up assuming
Ethernet is connected to a switch. After bootup, the Link LED indicates a network connection is present, and the Activity
LED will flash any time network traffic is detected.
The ZigBee Status LED should come on solid green and remain on. The Associate LED should flash green at a rate of
about once a second. When data is received by the ZigBee radio, the data light will flicker. If you do not have any
ZigBee devices powered up, this LED will remain off.
You will need to start by establishing a connection between your PC and the BB2-7040. The BB2-7040 comes
preconfigured to a static IP address of 10.0.0.101. This will be the local domain your PC is already on with certain types
of network routers. If this is the case, you need to be sure nothing else is at 10.0.0.101 before putting it on the network,
or simply do not connect it to your office network.
If your PC is on some other domain (192.168.0.0 is a common one), you will need to set up a temporary routing table
entry on your PC. Start by finding out what IP address your PC is currently at. Do this by opening a command prompt,
and typing the command ‘ipconfig’. Note the address.
