Real Time Clock
ThinkCore DA-660’s real time clock is powered by a lithium battery. We
strongly recommend that you do not replace the lithium battery without
help from a qualified MOXA support engineer. If you need to change the
battery, contact the MOXA RMA service team.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
6. Powering on Your ThinkCore DA-660
To power on the ThinkCore DA-660, connect the power line to the
DA-660’s AC/DC power connector (located on the right side of the rear
panel) with the power cord that is shipped with the product. Then, turn on
the power switch. It takes about 30 seconds for the system to boot up.
Once the system is ready, the Ready LED on the front panel will light up,
and the DA-660 will display its model name and firmware version on the
LCM display.
7. Connecting Your ThinkCore DA-660 to a PC
There are two ways to connect the ThinkCore DA-660 to a PC: through
the serial console port or via Telnet over the network. The COM settings
for the serial console port are: Baudrate=115200 bps, Parity=None,
Data bits=8, Stop bits =1, Flow Control=None.
ATTENTION
Remember to choose the “VT100” terminal type. Use the CBL-RJ45F9-150
cable included with the product to connect a PC to DA-660’s serial console
port.
To use Telnet you will need to know DA-660’s IP address and netmask.
The default LAN settings are shown below. For first-time configuration,
you may find it convenient to use a cross-over Ethernet cable to connect
directly from the PC to the ThinkCore DA-660.
Default IP Address Netmask
LAN 1
192.168.3.127 255.255.255.0
LAN 2
192.168.4.127 255.255.255.0
Once the DA-660 is powered on, the Ready LED will light up, and a
login page will open. Use the following default Login name and
Password to proceed.
Login: admin
Password: admin
8. Configuring the Network Settings
Normally, you are required to change the IP address of the ThinkCore
DA-660 as it may be located in a different local network from that of
your development workstation. Use the netconfig utility to complete this
task. Before using this utility, type netconfig -h to examine the usage of
the command.
\> netconfig -h
Usage: netconfig –n <“LAN1” or “LAN2”> [-m <netmask>] [-d
<DNS server>] [-g <gateway>] [-i <IP address>]
For example, let us assume your development workstation has a LAN
port at 192.168.1.x and the Domain Name Server (DNS) is at 192.168.2.6.
Execute the following command to change the network settings on your
ThinkCore DA-660.
\> netconfig –n LAN1 –i 192.168.1.5 –m 255.255.255.0 –g
192.168.1.254 –d 192.168.2.6
Type netconfig to view the new settings.
\> netconfig
LAN1 Interface Configuration:
IP Address: 192.168.1.5
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
DNS: 192.168.2.6
LAN2 Interface Configuration:
IP Address: 192.168.4.127
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway:
DNS:
9. Developing Your Application
