4 Installation

Warning: The instructions on Safety (Section 2) related to the rc_visard must be read and understood prior

to installation.

4.1 Installation and conﬁguration

The rc_visard offers a Gigabit Ethernet interface for connecting the device to a computer network. All communi-

cations to and from the device are performed via this interface. The rc_visard has an on-board computing resource

that requires booting time after powering up the device.

4.2 Power up

Note: Always fully connect and tighten the M12 power connector on the rc_visard before turning on the power

supply.

After connecting the rc_visard to the power, the LED on the front of the device should immediately illuminate.

During the device’s boot process, the LED will change color and will eventually turn green. This signals that all

processes are up and running.

If the network is not plugged in or the network is not properly conﬁgured, then the LED will ﬂash red every 5

seconds. In this case, the device’s network conﬁguration should be veriﬁed. See LED colors (Section 11.1) for

more information on the LED color codes.

4.3 Network conﬁguration

The rc_visard requires an Internet Protocol (IP) address for communication with other network devices. The IP

address must be unique in the local network, and can be set automatically or manually.
