- 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.)

- 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.

MCE Universal Serial Network
12 Manual # 42-02-S028 A1
• Translation Loop Progress: This screen displays the progress of translating events,
parameters, and monitors from the device protocol to the client protocol. MCE use only.
• Internal Address Data Values: This option is used to dial USN memory addresses and view
their contents. The functional switches and buttons are used in this mode to change the
format of the information displayed.
• If switches F1, F2 and F3 are in the down position, data is displayed in Binary (Base 2)
format.
• Switch F1: Flip this switch up to display data in ACII format.
• Switch F2: Flip this switch up to display data in Hexadecimal (Base 16) format.
• Switch F3: Flip this switch up to display data in Decimal (Base 10) format.
• Switch F4: If this switch is down, snapshot of the current memory address is displayed.
If this switch is up, a real-time display of the current address is displayed.
• S button: Enter edit mode. Press S to move cursor. Press + and - button to increment/
decrement digit selected by cursor.
Configuration Menus
• Device Type: This menu is used to select the type of controller the USN will connect to.
• IP Address: This menu is used to assign an IP address to the USN interface board.
Typically, MCE uses IP addresses in the range of 192.168.191.XXX. Consult the building
IT department for more information.
Note
The IP address must be unique on the network. If another device shares the same address and
the USN is connected to the network, the USN board may be rendered inoperable. Should this
occur, please consult MCE technical support.
• Subnet Mask: This menu is used to assign the subnet mask for the USN interface board.
Typically, MCE uses subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Consult the building IT department for
more information.
• Gateway Address: This menu is used to assign the default gateway address for the USN
interface board. The gateway address is the IP address of the nearest available router.
This setting is used in more complex networking environments to route between different
networks. Generally this can be left as 000.000.000.000. Consult the building IT depart-
ment for more information.
• Reset Xport: This option will reset the ethernet interface of the USN. Press the S key to
activate.
• Refresh Device: This option causes the USN to refresh all data from the connected control-
ler device. Press the S key to activate.
• Refresh Xport: This option causes the ethernet interface to refresh all saved parameters.
Press the S key to activate.
• TFTP Status: Press the S key to enable the embedded TFTP service. This is used to
upgrade the Xport ethernet interface using the device installer software.
