cable with RJ45 connector. 

 

Connect EW5302 serial port to a Serial device. Please make sure the connector and wiring of 
RS-232 or RS-485 is correct. 

 

Plug in EW5302 to DC-9-48V power source (with DC-jack or 3-pin terminal bock connector), 
buzzer will beep and the RUN LED will blink if EW5302 functions normally. For LED Status see 
Appendix D.4 

Use 

SerialManager

 configuration utility on the Product CD to check the status of EW5302. If it starts up 

successfully, users shall find the IP and MAC addresses of EW5302. Users can also change IP address, 
gateway IP address and subnet mask networking parameters of EW5302 according to user networking 
configurations.
