Omega Vehicle Security 1500 Setup for Ethernet Operation

1-4 Configuring and Starting NetScan NetScan User’s Manual

Setup for Ethernet Operation

If you want to operate your NetScan unit independent of (not-connected to) the ethernet,

refer to Chapter 7 for serial operation.

If you ordered a expansion chassis (CSN/Exp), please refer to Chapter 7 for installation

instructions.

Note 1: The DB9 connection to

NetScan’s CONFIG Port is

required only during initial

configuration.

Note 2: If conneting NetScan

directly to your PC’s ethernet

connection, a 10-Base-T cross-over

adapter (or a cross-over cable)

must be used.

Initial Connections for Ethernet Setup

Perform the following hardware-related steps to setup NetScan for ethernet operation.

1. If connecting NetScan directly to your PC:

(a) connect the cross-over adapter (CA-192-Adapter) to your PC’s ethernet connector

(b) connect the “straight-through” 10-Base-T type cable (CA-192-5) to NetScan’s ETHERNET Port

Option: A 10-Base-T cross-over cable may be used in place of an adapter with straight-through cable

2. If connecting NetScan to a hub: connect a “straight-through” type 10-Base-T type ethernet cable

(CA-192-5) to NetScan’s ETHERNET Port; then connect the other end of the cable to the PC’s

ethernet hub.

3. Connect a CA-47 cable (or equivalent DB9 cable) to NetScan’s 9-pin sub D CONFIG Port.

4. Connect the other end (DB25 or DB9 connector end) of the CA-47 (or equivalent cable) to an available

COMM Port on your PC. Note that the PC COMM ports can be 25 pin, or 9 pin.

5. Ensure NetScan’s Interface Selector Switch is set to the ETHERNET (up) position.

6. Make sure NetScan’s power switch is in the “0” (OFF) position.

7. Plug power cord CA-1 into NetScan’s power connector (located on the rear panel). Plug the other end

of the cord into an appropriate power receptacle.

8. Turn NetScan’s power switch to the “1” (ON) position. The Power LED should light up.

At initial power-up NetScan performs automatic self-tests to ensure that it is fully functional. The rear

panel LEDs indicate errors, if they occur. Possible error conditions and their corresponding indicator light

patterns are shown in the following table. Any pattern not shown is an internal error that is not field-

serviceable; in this case, contact the factory. When only the POWER and ERROR LEDs are on, a

configuration error exists as a result of the setup information in NV-RAM.
