Note: The Ethernet CAT 5 cable will have to be terminated with an RJ-

45 connector after feeding it through one of the five compression

clamps.

Note: The Ethernet cable needs to run through the Ferrite Box Snap to

suppress RF noise from the Ethernet Card. The cable should be

wrapped around the Ferrite Box so the cable passes through the box

twice. The installed Ferrite box should be attached to the Ethernet

cable inside the i-PORT, and placed in the bottom left corner of the

enclosure.

11.3 Initial Power Up

When the i-PORT is first installed connect the input power source for at

least one minute then reset the i-PORT or cycle power and commence

normal operation. This ensures adequate charge up time for the internal

Real Time Clock supply voltage. This procedure has to be repeated

whenever the i-PORT had been disconnected from its input power

source for more than 24 hours.

11.4 Configuration of the i-PORT for LANs

When using the i-PORT as a client on an Ethernet network the start-up

IP address will be the default address stored on the ATA Flash Storage

Card. To change the address this card can be removed from the i-PORT

and inserted into a computer with a PC Card slot. The card can then be

accessed as a drive on the computer.

Note: for information on accessing a PC Card as a drive on the

computer refer to your Windows® user documentation.

With the Flash Storage Card in a Windows® computer use a text editor

to open the file “ipsettings”. This data file is ASCII format. The values

in this file must be listed as follows:

IPAddress

Subnetmask

DefaultGateway

Blank Line

Before saving make sure you hit enter after DefaultGateway.
