PROGRAMMING QUICK START PROCEDURE
1. Start the laptop and log in as “tunet”.
2. Plug the network cable into NC-90 port and the other end to the laptop.
3. Apply power to the NC-900 Network Controller.
4. Wait approximately 90 seconds until the solid orange status light on the NC-90 changes to either
solid red (factory default / never programmed), flashing orange (previously programmed) or flashing
red (previously programmed but no network connection found).
5. Proceed to configure the TUNet NC-90 as explained in the following sections.
Note: The TUNet NC-90 reboots every 5 minutes if it is not communicating with a Tantalus Network
Server. This is indicated by the status light changing to flashing red 6 minutes after initial power up. This
may result in an unsuccessful programming attempt. It is recommended to remove power for 20
seconds and reapply. The device will then go through the normal startup cycle.
