CHAPTER 4: Installation and Initial Configuration

b.Plug in and turn ON the CPU. If the CIM is installed and operating properly, the CIM’s green LED will start blinking: once per second while the CIM is idle, more quickly while it’s passing data in either direction.

c.Connect one end of a CAT5 UTP cable to RJ-45 channel port #1 on the back of the Base Unit. Connect the other end of cable to the RJ-45 port on the CIM.

6.Configure the CIM and the attached CPU.

a.The monitor attached to the USM should still be displaying the OSUI’s Selection Menu, with the CPU you just connected displayed in green. Use the up- and down-arrow keys to move the highlight to that entry and press [Enter]. If you can access and operate the CPU normally, you’ve connected the CIM successfully. We recommend you give the computer a meaningful system name at this time, as described in the following paragraphs.

NOTE

If your video image is fuzzy (especially if you’re using an LCD flat- panel monitor), you can adjust the video gain to focus the video image. If the OSUI isn’t already on screen, activate it by pressing the [Scroll Lock] key twice rapidly, then use the numeric keypad’s “+” and “–” (plus and minus) keys to adjust the video image until it appears to be in focus.

b.Press [F5] to bring up the Administration Menu, shown in Figure 4-5. Use the up- and down-arrow keys to move the highlight to the Channel Configuration entry and press [Enter] to select it.

c.The Channel Configuration menu should appear, as shown in Figure 4-6. Use the up- and down-arrow keys to move the yellow highlight to the Name field for the channel number where you installed the CPU and press [Enter]. The highlight should turn light blue.

d.Edit the name (it should turn green when you start typing). Press [Enter] when you’re finished, then press “S” to save the new name.

e.Press [Enter] to return to the Selection Menu. Verify that new name appears in the Selection Menu in green.

7.Repeat steps 5 and 6 for each CIM and CPU you want to connect to the Base Unit’s channel ports.
