3. SET-UP of the MR3000SB
First of all, please connect the MR3000SB to the main power or to a DC power, depending on the
version purchased. In case no power is provided, the internal battery can guarantee an autonomy
of about 40 hours.
You have to open the MR3000SB and close the fuse (F1), in order to switch on the device.
All 3 LEDs (green, yellow, red) are on and the 1
st
and 3
rd
line of the LCD become black during start-
up of the SB. Then all the 3 LEDs go off. The green LED is blinking while the SB updates the
database of the files on the SD card.
Once the unit is started, only the green POWER LED remains on. Now you can establish
communication with the SB using any of the 2 methods described below.
3.1 Connecting to the SB for the first time (direct connection)
To communicate with the SB you do not need any special software: any Web browser is sufficient.
There are 2 methods for direct connection:
Wired connection via router: This method offers the most possibilities and needs no
configuration at start-up, but you need a router. If the router has access to the Internet, you
can do everything with your MR3000SB, including firmware upgrades. You can attach many
SB to the router and communicate to all of them simultaneously. The disadvantage of this
method is that you need an additional device.
Direct wired connection: If the MR3000SB ordered has LAN interface and there is no router
involved, you will have to adjust the network settings of the PC. Obviously, you can
communicate only to one MR3000SB at a time. This is not possible if the MR3000SB has
only fiber optic interfaces, since a converter is needed to communicate with the PC.
Depending on the method you choose, the IP address of the SB will be different. The following
paragraphs describe these methods in details.
3.1.1.
Wired connection via router
Depending of the MR3000SB model (FO or LAN), you will have to use either a standard
router/switch or a router/switch with FO ST connectors.
In case you have the LAN version, please use an Ethernet cable to connect the SB to one of the
LAN ports of your switch. Your PC needs a connection to the same switch (wired). Make sure to
disable any other LAN connections on your PC.
In case you have the FO version, use a FO ST cable to connect directly to the FO switch. (see Fig.
3.1.1).
