Basic Operation
If the CN2610 is working properly, the LCM panel will display a green
color. The red Ready LED will also light up, indicating that the CN2610
is receiving power. After the red Ready LED turns to green, you will see a
display similar to the following:

There are four push buttons on the CN2610’s nameplate. Going from left
to right, the buttons are:

4. Hardware Installation
1.
Installing the CN2610
Open the package, and attach the CN2610 to a desktop, or fasten it to
the rack cabinet.
2.
Wiring Requirements
A.
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power
wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are
perpendicular at the intersection point.
B.
NOTE:
Do not run signal or communication wiring and power
wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with
different signal characteristics should be routed separately.
C.
Where necessary, we strongly advised that you label wiring to all
devices in the system.
3.
Connecting Power
AC: Connect the CN2610 100-240 VAC power line with its AC
connector. If the power is properly supplied, the “Ready” LED
will show a solid red color until the system is ready, at which
time the “Ready” LED will change to a green color.
If the power is properly supplied, the “Ready” LED will show a solid
red color until the system is ready, at which time the “Ready” LED
will change to a green color.
4.
Connecting to the Network
Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the CN2610’s 10/100M
Ethernet port and the other end of the cable to the Ethernet network.
There are 2 LED indicators located on the top left and right corners of
the Ethernet connector. If the cable is properly connected, the CN2610
will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet in the following ways:
8

The top right corner LED indicator maintains a solid
green color when the cable is properly connected to a
100 Mbps Ethernet network.
The top left corner LED indicator maintains a solid
orange color when the cable is properly connected to a
10 Mbps Ethernet network.
