An integrated DCM receives its 12 V DC power from two pins in its single connector. See Appendix A, “Connector pinouts” for the positions of these pins.
2.3 Connecting to a single computer
In autonomous or temporary installations, you will only need to connect the DCM to one computer (e.g. a laptop) for initial configuration. Follow these instructions to make the DCM communicate with your computer.
Note that your computer must either have an RS232 (serial) port for initial connection, or be running its own DHCP server. DHCP servers are available for Windows, but are not supplied as standard.
If you want to connect the DCM to a local area network, follow the instructions in Section 2.4, “Connecting to a local network” instead.
Connecting over a serial link
The DATA OUT port can be used to connect a DCM to a single computer through a direct serial link. This link can be used to log in to the Linux operating system of the DCM and transfer files. It is most useful for maintenance and troubleshooting over a
To communicate over a serial link:
1.Connect an RS232 reverse serial cable between the DCM and your computer. A suitable cable should have been supplied with the unit.
2.Run a terminal emulation program on the computer. The
3.Configure the baud rate of the serial link. By default, the DCM uses a baud rate of 115200, with 8 data bits, no parity bit, and one stop bit, and without flow control.
4.Log in with your username and password, or root if you have not yet
created one. See http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-
