Section 2. Installation and Configuration

Introduction

To use this product, you must have the following equipment:

•a compatible model of DC output power supply

•serial extender cable (straight through)

•computer with an RS-232 interface (serial port)

•computer-based communications software package

The RS-232interface is usually installed at the factory. Your local distributor or service center can also install the interface, especially for use in a previously-purchased supply already on site. You must then configure the RS-232 Interface-enhanced supply for your system using the “Basic Setup Procedure” on page 23. Refer also to Figure 2.1, on page 20, Figure 2.2, on page 21 and Figure 2.3, on page 22 for drawings of the front panel, the interface subplate, and the RS-232 interface printed circuit board (PCB).

Initial Inspection

CAUTION

If you remove the unit's cover, use proper static control techniques to avoid damage to static-sensitive components on the printed circuit board.

On first receiving your unit, perform a quick physical check.

•Ensure each package contains a power supply with its RS-232 interface board installed, and manuals for the power supply and the RS-232 interface. Any additional parts shipped with the power supply will be identified in the supply's documentation.

•Inspect the unit for any signs of physical damage such as scratches, cracks, or broken switches, connectors, or displays.
