- Mounting the Board Assemblies
- 1. Determine an appropriate location for the USN-BASE assembly. (Preferred location is in the upper left quadrant of the control enclosure.)
- 2. Mount the board, facing outward, such that access to critical controller components is not blocked.
- 3. For PTC/PHC programmable controllers, mount the M2C assembly near the USN-BASE assembly. (For a duplex, mount an M2C assembly in each controller enclosure but just one USN-BASE assembly in the enclosure of your choice.)
- 1. Determine an appropriate location for the USN-BASE assembly. (Preferred location is in the upper left quadrant of the control enclosure.)

- Configuration
- Device Type
- 1. Set only the F7 switch UP.
- 2. Press N until Device Type is displayed.
- 3. Press S to select. Supported Device Types are:
- 4. Select the Device Type.
- 5. Press N to go to save menu. Press S to save.
- 6. After the device type has changed, place the F7 switch down.
- 7. Reset the USN board by pressing the RSTA button.
- 8. After the device reboots, confirm new device type is selected.
- 1. Set only the F7 switch UP.

- 1. Connect the external Ethernet cable to Ethernet Port A on the USN-BASE assembly.
- 2. Connect the supplied C-RJ11/DB9M cable from a controller MC-RS (serial board) COM port to RS232 Port B (J7) on the USN-BASE assembly.
- 3. Through the controller MPU board, set the connected COM port to media= serial and device= PC.
- 4. On the MC-RS board, set the connected COM port slide switch to DCE.
- 5. Press RSTA to reset the USN board so that it will read its new connections.
- 1. Connect to the group controller using a CRT, terminal emulator, or TigerTerm software.
- 2. Press F1, then 1 to get to the General configuration screen.
- 3. Access the ICOM setting. Set it to the COM port connected to the MC-USN board. For example, if the MC- USN board is connected to COM2 on the MC-RS board, set the ICOM setting to COM2.
- 4. Save.
- 5. With the Function Switch F8 switch UP (all others down), press N to cycle through the menu to verify that information is correct.
- 1. Connect the external Ethernet cable to Ethernet Port A on the USN-BASE assembly.
- PTC/PHC
- 1. Connect the external Ethernet cable to Ethernet Port A on the USN-BASE assembly.
- 2. The boards in the controller are connected along a ribbon cable bus. Connect the M2C assembly’s “From PCA” (JP3) to the last controller board on the bus using supplied ribbon cable.
- 3. Connect the M2C assembly’s CAN2 port to the “Internal Network” (J5) connector on the USN-BASE assembly using the C-RJ-11 cable .
- 4. For Duplex, connect both CAN2 ports on the M2C assembly to supplied splitter. Then plug the splitter into “Internal Network” (J5) connector on USN-BASE assembly.
- 5. Press RSTA to reset the USN board so that it will read its new connections.
- 6. With the Function Switch F8 switch UP (all others down), press N to cycle through the menu to verify that information is correct.
- 1. Connect the external Ethernet cable to Ethernet Port A on the USN-BASE assembly.

MC USN Information
11
Once the USN has connected to the device it will display the following message:
This indicates that the USN board has successfully established connectivity with the device.
If the following message is displayed:
The USN board is not receiving data from the device.
Troubleshooting
• Recheck you connections to the board. Ensure that all proper connections have been
made based on the device type.
• In the case of a PCA type controller, ensure that the JP5 jumper on the M2C board is on
pins 2 and 3 (closest to the edge of the board).
• In the case of a swing panel, ensure that the slide switch on the MC-RS board is in the DCE
position and that the ICOM setting is configured for the correct COM port.
• If this job is a modification, ensure that the updated CGPC or PCA chips have been
installed into the controller.
Diagnostic Menus
To access diagnostic menus, place (only) the F8 switch in the UP position. This menu is used
primarily by MCE technicians for diagnostic purposes.
• Version screen: Displays the MC-USN version.
• iReport Connection Screen: This option shows information related to iReport connectiv-
ity. When connected, the iReport TCP port number, connection state, and IP address are
displayed.
• Number of Xport Resets: This option displays the number of Xport resets since the last
time the board was reset. Excessive resets may indicate a network-related issue.
• Device Communication Queue Health: This option displays the highest number of bytes
sent by the connected controller device that had to be stored before processing. It also dis-
plays the maximum number of bytes that can be stored. The final number is a real-time
display of the number of bytes buffered before processing. If current number of buffered
bytes is the same as the max then the device has sent data too quickly for the USN to pro-
cess. MCE use only.
