5. Connector Description 

Power Connector 

Connect the 12 to 48 VDC LPS or Class 2 power line to the UC-7101’s 
terminal block. If the power is properly supplied, the Power LED will 
light up. The OS is ready when the Ready LED glows a solid green. 
The power for this product is intended to be supplied by a Listed Power 
Unit, and rated to deliver 12 to 48 VDC at a minimum of 300 mA. 

Grounding the UC-7101 

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to 
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the 
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power. 

ATTENTION 

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting 
surface, such as a metal panel.

 

 

SG

 

SG: 

The Shielded Ground (sometimes called 

Protected Ground) contact is the left most 
contact of the 3-pin power terminal block 
connector when viewed from the angle shown 
here. Connect the SG wire to an appropriate 
grounded metal surface.

 

Ethernet Port 

The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port requires using RJ45 connectors.

Serial Port 

The UC-7101’s serial port uses a DB9 connector. Each port can be 
configured by software for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. The pin 
assignments for the port are shown in the following table:

SD Slot 

The UC-7101 has an internal SD slot for storage expansion. To install 
an SD card, first use a screw driver to remove the SD slot cover to 
access the slot. The slot is located on the right panel of the UC-7101. 
Plug the SD card directly into the socket. When an SD card is inserted, 
the system will mount the SD to /mnt/sd. To remove the SD card from 
the slot, press the SD card in slightly with your finger, and then remove 
your finger to cause the card to spring out partially. You may now 
grasp the top of the card with two fingers and pull it out. 

Console Port 

The serial console port is a 4-pin pin-header RS-232 port. It is used for 
the serial console terminal, which is useful for viewing boot-up 
messages. Use the CBL-4PINDB9F-100 cable included with the 
UC-7101 to connect a PC to the U-7101’s serial console port.

Reset 

Press the “Reset ” button and hold it in for at least 5 seconds to load the 
factory default configuration. After the factory default configuration 
has been loaded, the system will reboot automatically. The Ready LED 
will blink on and off for the first 5 seconds, and then maintain a steady 
glow once the system has rebooted. 

6. Powering on the UC-7101 

To power on the UC-7101, connect the “terminal block to power jack 
converter” to the UC-7101’s DC terminal block (located on the left side 
of the top panel), and then connect the power adaptor. Note that the 
Shielded Ground wire should be connected to the right most pin of the 
terminal block. Once the system is ready, the Ready LED will light up. 

7. Connecting the UC-7101 to a PC 

There are two ways to connect the UC-7101 to a PC: (1) through the 
serial console port, or (2) by Telnet over the network. The COM settings 
for the serial console port are: 

Baudrate=115200 bps, Parity=None, 

Data bits=8, Stop bits =1, Flow Control=None.

 

ATTENTION 

Use the CBL-4PINDB9F-100 cable included with the product to connect 
a PC to the UC-7101’s serial console port. Remember to choose 
“VT100” terminal type. 
 
To connect by Telnet, you need to know the UC-7101’s IP address and 
netmask. The default LAN settings are shown below. For first-time 
configuration, you may find it convenient to use a cross-over Ethernet 
cable to connect directly from the PC to the UC-7101. 

Default IP Address     

 

 

Netmask 

LAN  

192.168.3.127 

 

    255.255.255.0 

 
Once the UC-7101 is powered on, the Ready LED will light up. Use the 
following default login name and password to proceed. The defaults are: 

   Login: 

root 

   Password: 

root 

 
8. Configuring the Ethernet Interface 

Please refer to the UC-7101 User’s Manual for information on how to 
configure the Ethernet interface. 

CAUTION

 

RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN 
INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING 
TO THE INSTRUCTION.
