2.6. FRAME CONTROLLER
To successfully install the EMX-FC, you will require the following:
1. Unused IP address on the network or a DHCP server.
2. Evertz serial cable.
Before handling the card it is important to minimize the potential effects of static electricity. It is therefore
recommended that an ESD strap be worn.
Before inserting the card, connect the serial cable to the board using the serial cable provided as shown in
Figure 2-5. Now insert the FC card into the dedicated front slot ensuring the card lines up with the slot
runners on the bottom and the top of the chassis. Push the card
firmly
into the slot ensuring that when it
mates with the rear card it has been firmly pushed into a seated position. Do not connect any cables to
the rear card (failure to do this could cause unwanted network issues) until the initial configuration has
been completed.
Figure 2-5: Serial Connection
Connect the 9-pin D-type end of the serial cable to the serial port of your computer.
Open Tera Term (if using Windows XP or older operating systems, open Hyper Terminal) to make the
required changes to the IP address on the card. Set the required Baud rate to 115200 and use username
customer and password customer to login .
