Getting Connected 

3.1 -  Power Up Sequence 

On startup, the DL50 goes through a boot up process and exhibits the following functionality: 

• 

Internal buzzer beeps once 

• 

The power LED flashes once each second for about 15 seconds 

• 

Modem Active LED lights for 5 seconds if a modem is installed 

• 

Ethernet Active LED lights for 5 seconds if an Ethernet interface is installed 

• 

Internal buzzer beeps twice 

• 

Power LED will begin to blink once every 10 seconds as a ‘heartbeat’ for the DL50 

3.2 -  Methods of Connecting 

Connecting Via Serial Port 

Connect to I/O 2 with the 6’ Female DB9 to Female DB9 null modem cable.  Ensure that 
Dipswitches B7 and B8 are off in order to enable command mode.  By default, serial port 
command processor access is not password protected.  Once connected, the command line is 
available in system administrator mode.  The following table contains the default passwords for 
the DL50.

Connecting Via Modem 

Upon first dialing into the DL50, a user is presented with the unit answer string.  By default, this 
string is “Data-Link”.  This string can be changed to indicate the specific application of this 
device. 

The previous table contains the default passwords configured on the DL50.  It is recommended 
that a system administrator change these passwords and keep them recorded in a secure location 
thereafter.
