alone as the end user will need to change them for his company and
location.

The following steps should be used as to setup and use the 9009.
1. Review Section 2.9 to select or design the serial cable to the Modbus
RTU Slave Device. Change the jumper positions as directed in Sec-
tion 2.10 to match the selected signal type.
2. Connect the AC adapter, serial cable and the Ethernet cable to the unit.
Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable directly to a PC or to the

3. Follow the directions in Section 2.6 for setting the computer to com-
municate with the 9099. Use ICS’s VXI-11kybd program to access
the 9099 at its default IP of 192.168.0.254.
4. Send the 9009 an *IDN? query to readback its IDN message and to
verify communication with the 9009.
5. Review the factory settings in Table 1-2 to determine if the baud rate
or any other settings need to be changed for the Modbus slave device.
Use the ‘D’ command (see Table 3-5) to set the Modbus timeout to
1000 for initial tests.
