- 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.)

- 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.

Security Password Default for IMC Connections

Security Password Default for IMC Connections
If the USN is connected to an IMC controller with the CRT Security feature enabled, the USN
will allow iMonitor software to configure security parameters. In order to configure security
parameters, a user must log into the controller using a password. This password is stored on
the USN board.
The default password is “manager”.
If it is lost, the password can be reset back to default:
1. Disconnect the serial communication cable from the USN.
2. Change the Device type setting from Swing Panel to a non-swing panel type (e.g. PCA
Simplex A2K) and save.
3. Reset board by pressing the RSTA button.
4. Change Device type back to Swing Panel and save.
5. Remove power from USN.
6. Reconnect serial communication cable.
7. Reconnect power to USN.
KCE Functionality
In order to utilize car recall functionality with iMonitor software, the KCE (Keyboard Control
for Elevators) feature must be enabled on the controller.
On PCA-type controllers, activate KCE from the Extra Features menu. Please consult the
appropriate controller documentation for details.
On IMC-type controllers, the KCE feature must be pre-programmed on the controller software.
You can verify the presence of the KCE feature by connecting to the group controller using a
CRT, terminal emulator or TigerTerm software. Go to the Job Configuration screen (F6) and
view the Other Options menu item. Please consult the appropriate controller documentation
for more details.
Note
KCE functionality is available on only certain MCE controllers. Check the controller user man-
ual.
