2 Power the RMX On.
AC System - Turn ON the power by pressing on the power switch 
located on the rear panel of the RMX 1500/2000/4000.
DC System (RMX 4000) - Turn ON the Main that supplies power to 
the RMX and then turn ON each of the DC power rail modules.
The parameters in the lan.cfg file are uploaded from the USB key to 
the RMX’s memory and applied during the power-up sequence.
System power-up sequence may take up to five minutes.
During the First-time Power-up the red ERR LED on the RMX’s front 
panel remains ON until both the Management and IP Network Services 
have been defined.
When the RMX configuration is completed (including the 
Management and IP Network Services), and if there are no System 
Errors, the green RDY LED on the CNTL module (on the RMX’s front 
panel) turns ON.
3 Remove the USB key once the connection to the RMX is established 
and the Login screen is displayed. For more details, see ”Procedure 3: 
Connection to MCU” on page 2-24.
