FCD-E1 Preliminary Configuration 4-5
4.3 Preliminary Configuration
The scope of the preliminary configuration activities is to enable management
communication with FCD-E1.
Preparation of FCD-E1
See Chapter 2 for detailed information on internal settings, and connection
instructions.
Selection of Default Password
Generally you must enter a password when you start a control session. If the
password is incorrect, FCD-E1 will not respond. This can be corrected by
appropriate setting of the PASSW section of DIP switch S1, located on the FCD-E1
main board.
FCD-E1 is affected by the DIP switch setting only if the ‘password’ parameter in DEF
SP is set to ‘yes’.
Set the PASSW section of DIP switch S1 as follows:
• OFF – In this position, you can define your own password and node address.
• ON – Set the section to ON to restore the default case-sensitive FCD-E1
password (RAD), and change the node address to the default value of 0. The
change will be made after you turn the FCD-E1 off for a short time, and then
back on.
Selection of Default Supervisory Port Parameters
If the supervisory port parameters are not correct, FCD-E1 will not respond. This
can be corrected by means of the DEF PAR section of S1, located on the FCD-E1
main board.
Set the DEF PAR section of S1 as follows:
• OFF – In this position, you can define the desired supervisory port parameters.
• ON – Set the switch section to ON to restore the default supervisory port
parameters.
Preparation of Supervision Terminal
Configure the terminal for the communication parameters used by the CONTROL
DCE port, select the full-duplex mode, and turn the terminal echo off. For the
preliminary configuration session, always use the default communication
parameters.
Connect the terminal RS-232 communication port to the CONTROL DCE port.
Initial Configuration
Perform the procedure explained below. If you need detailed instructions and
explanations regarding each command, refer to Appendix D.
