4 QUICK START CONFIGURATION
The following guide gives a simple, quick start introduction to configuring the WCM for
Normal Mode operation as shown in section 2.1
4.1 Cold Start the Unit
When a WCM is shipped from the factory it will be in the default condition, however with
previously used equipment this may not be the case. To return the unit to the default state
will require a power cycle and configuration of the bit switches.
The underside of the unit has a set of accessible bit switches and a label, as shown below
for the two products:
Ensure all other bit switches are in the desired default positions.
To cold start the unit, first set bit switch 8 (Cold Start) to the OFF (Return to Default
Settings) position. Power up the WCM, wait for the Status LED to come on in any state,
and then power down. To return to normal mode, return bit switch 8 to the ON (Normal
Operation) position.
4.2 Access the WCM
Initial access to the WCM is made using the Terminal Port on the rear panel of the unit.
The Terminal port defaults to 19200baud, 8bit, No Parity, 1 Stop Bit. The 9 Way D-Type
is configured as a DCE port with standard pin out as shown below:
