4-Port Installation (99444-2)

4-Port Installation (99444-2)

Use the following procedure to set up the 4-port DeviceMaster 500 and LMS 
scanner at 500K baud. Install the DeviceMaster 500 hardware using the following 
procedure:

1.

Record the MAC address, model number, and serial number of the 
DeviceMaster 500 on the customer service label provided.

2.

Connect the DeviceMaster 500 to the same Ethernet network segment as the 
host PC using one of the following methods:

Ethernet hub or switch (10/100Base-T)

: Connect to the port labeled UP on 

the DeviceMaster 500 using a standard Ethernet cable.

Server NIC (10/100Base-T)

: Connect to the port labeled DOWN on the 

DeviceMaster 500 using a standard Ethernet cable.

Note:

Do not connect scanner until RS-422 has been configured for that port 
in the driver. The NS-Link default port setting is RS-232.

3.

Apply power to the DeviceMaster 500 by connecting the AC power adapter to 
the DeviceMaster 500, the appropriate power cord for your location to the 
power adapter, and plugging the power cord into a power source. 

4.

Verify the 

Status

 LED has completed the boot cycle and network connection for 

the DeviceMaster 500 is functioning properly using the table below.  

Go to 

Software Installation

 on Page 9 to complete the installation.

LED Descriptions

PWR

LED on the front panel of the DeviceMaster 500 is lit, indicating 
you have power and it has completed the boot cycle.

Note:

The 

PWR

 LED flashes while booting and it takes 

approximately 15 seconds for the bootloader to complete 
the cycle. When the Bootloader completes the cycle, the 
LED has a solid, steady light that blinks approximately 
every 30 seconds.

LNK 
ACT

The 

LNK ACT

 LED is lit, indicating 

that you have a working Ethernet 
connection.

COL 

If the 

COL LED

 is lit, there is a 

network collision.

100

If the 

100

 LED is lit, it indicates a 

working 100 MB Ethernet connection 
(100 MB network, only). If the LED is 
not lit, it indicates a 10 MB Ethernet 
connection.
