Western Telematic AFS-16-1 manual Hardware Installation, Connecting the Power Supply Cables

4. Hardware Installation

4.1. Connecting the Power Supply Cable(s)

Refer to the cautions listed below and at the beginning of this User's Guide, and then connect the AFS-16 to an appropriate 100 to 240 VAC power supply.

CAUTIONS:

•Before attempting to install this unit, please review the warnings and cautions listed at the front of the user’s guide.

•This device should only be operated with the type of power source indicated on the instrument nameplate. If you are not sure of the type of power service available, please contact your local power company.

•Reliable earthing (grounding) of this unit must be maintained. Particular attention should be given to supply connections when connecting to power strips, rather than directly to the branch circuit.

Note: The AFS-16 includes two power inlets. You can connect either one or both of these inputs to your power source. If both power inlets are connected, they should be connected to separate power sources in order that the second power source can serve as a redundant back up in the event of failure.

Set the Power Switch on the AFS-16 Power Module to the ON Position. The ON LED on the Power Module and the A/B indicators on the Control Module should light. After about 90 seconds, the A/B indicators should go out, indicating that the unit is ready to receive commands. Note that if the AFS-16 needs to download SSH keys, it may take longer than 90 seconds for the A/B indicators to switch off.

4.2. Connecting the Network Cable

Use the supplied 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable to connect the AFS-16 Ethernet port to your TCP/IP network. Note that the AFS-16 includes a default IP address (192.168.168.168) and a default subnet mask (255.255.255.0.) When installing the AFS-16 in a working network environment, it is recommended to define network parameters as described in Section 5.9.
