Installing Hardware Options
5. Connect the Power Control Pod to an outlet and then
switch the power switch, located on the back of the pod, to
the “On” position.
6. Once you have connected the USB-to-serial port adapter
to your appliance (or to a USB hub that is connected to the
WallBotz 500 base station), use a female-to-female null
modem cable (included with your Power Control Pod) to
connect the RS232 port located on the back of the pod to a
serial port on the USB-to-serial port adapter. Then, use the
Basic View
Setup view or the Advanced View Serial Devices
task to specify which serial port-based device you have
connected to the appliance.
After you have installed the Power Control Pod, use the Basic
View
Setup view or the Advanced View Output Control task to
complete your installation.
Note: If, after you have installed and configured a Power Control Pod,
you later choose to uninstall the pod, replace it with a different
serial device, or move the pod to a different serial port, you must
perform a simple uninstall procedure using the Advanced View
Serial devices task before connecting a new serial device to the
previously used serial port. Failure to follow this procedure will
result in your appliance becoming unstable. For more
information, see “Reassigning Serial Ports” on page 63.
