Figure 2.2. ES820 Cable Harness
This cable can connect the Mesh Point to a computer or switch
on the wired LAN for initial configuration, prior to being
integrated into a vehicle, and can connect to multiple devices
simultaneously.
2.2 Connecting the ES820
The ES820 can be connected temporarily for preconfiguration
of the Mesh Point software and then permanently for
deployment.
2.2.1 Connections for Preconfiguration
Mesh Point software should be configured in advance of
deployment. This section provides instructions for temporarily
connecting the ES820 Mesh Point for preconfiguration.
1 Position the Mesh Point so that it operates only within its
safe temperature range.
2 Connect the Mesh Point’s DC power inlet (see Figure 2.1)
to an external power source.
3 Connect an ES820 cable harness to the 37-pin I/O control
connector (labeled I/O on the back panel), and use the
RJ45 connector labeled P2 (Ethernet 2) to connect the
Mesh Point to a computer or switch on the wired LAN.
To complete the configuration, refer to the Software GUI Guide
or the Software GUI Guide for instructions on Logging On,
Licensing, and Configuring the Mesh Point software.
