To program Digi-One:

Connect Digi-One to our network. It will pick up an internet address via DHCP. Use a web browser to connect to

the Digi-One. Start with address 10.0.0.150. Keep incrementing by one until it asks for a password. Use

Username "root" and password "dbps". Go to the Backup/Restore

screen and Restore using the MJ32-SR2 ﬁle on

the drawings disk under PLC projects. (This will set the IP Address to: 10.0.0.78)

Leave the dip switches at the factory default (RS-232)

Use a 9 pin serial extension cable to connect the Digi-One

to the bottom of the B & B RS-232 to RS-485 converter

which is located inside the MJ control box.

Cut the Digi-One power cable and connect the Digi-One end of the cable to the 24V DC

power supply located inside the MJ control box. Connect the wire with the white stipe to

positive on the power supply.
