DN-2400E User Guide - 08/05/11
6.4 Ethernet Port Connections
Using the Ethernet cables provided in the Kit, connect one end of the cable to the back of each
DN-2400E/EP and the other end to their respective Ethernet hosts. The green LED on the DN-2400E/EP
Ethernet connector indicates that an Ethernet link is established, and the amber LED indicates Ethernet
traffic activity.

6.5 Applying Power to the Units
Connect the power supply to the Base unit using the power supply connector on the rear of the unit. Con-
nect the wall-mount end of the power supply to a wall outlet with either 110 or 220 VAC. The Power LED
on the unit will come on indicating that the unit is powered. Repeat this step with the Remote unit. Note
that it is not necessary to connect the power supply to a DN-2400EP if it is connected to an Ethernet host
that implements IEEE 802.3af Mode B Power over Ethernet. A few seconds after power is applied, the
Link LEDs on both units will light. This indicates the two units have established a wireless link and can
transport Ethernet traffic.
6.6 Preparing to Change Default Settings
This Section explains how to make hardware preparations to change DN-2400E/EP default settings such
as transmitter power, RF data rate, AES encryption key, hop duration etc., or to add more Remote units
to the network.
1. Snap the appropriate power plug on the universal wall plug power supply connected to the configura-
tion module, as shown in Figure 6.6.1.
2. Connect the configuration module to a PC using a DB9 modem (straight through) cable.
3. Plug the configuration module into the DN-2400E/EP terminal block, and then plug in the wall plug
power supply.
4. Configure the module as needed (see Section 7 for details).
