Default Module Settings

The CM4 comes with the baud rate on RS232 console port set to 9600.

Preparing the Module

•You must install the PCMCIA card before you install the command module. You cannot add or remove a PCMCIA card while the unit is powered on.

Installing a Memory Upgrade

CAUTION: Before performing any upgrade or installation, ensure that you are properly “grounded” to avoid electrostatic discharge. The switch must be powered off before installing or replacing any module.

1.Determine how much memory is already installed on the Control Module. If you do not know how much memory is installed on the Control Module, enter the system show hardware command in Enable mode. The amount of memory is reported as the System Memory size. For example:
