1.9.2 Communication Connections
While the Prodigy/CME PC/104 card can communicate to a host controller using Ethernet, CANbus, and one of two
serial modes (RS-232 and RS-485), in this first-time installation we will set up the card for Ethernet communications.
To set up the card for operation in other communication modes, see Chapter
2, Operation , on page 31 and the Pro-
Motion User’s Guide .
Because the Ethernet address for the card will need to be configured, we will first connect the RS-232 serial port, and
then the Ethernet port on the card. During initialization, we will then use Pro-Motion to change the IP address that
the card expects Ethernet communications on.
If the standard PMD accessory cables are used, Cable-4301-01.R should be plugged into the Prodigy/CME PC/104
card 10-pin J17 serial connector, and the base of the “Y” of the dual serial cable (PMD p/n Cable-4355-01.R) should
be connected to Cable-4301-01.R. The opposite end of the serial cable marked “Port1” should be connected to your
computer's 9 pin serial port. If your computer does not have a dedicated serial port, a standard USB to serial converter
should be used. Figure 1-4 shows a typical serial port connection.

Connection
The Ethernet connection will not be made until serial communications are established. See Section 1.11.2, “Changing
the Ethernet Parameters of the Prodigy/CME PC/104 Card,” on page 24 for detailed instructions on when to
physically make the Ethernet connection. When Ethernet is ready to connect, use PMD’s Cable-4505-01.R, and plug
one end of the connector into J15, and the other end into Cable-RJ45-02.R. Then, plug the other end of this cable into
your computer’s Ethernet port. Figure 1-5 on page 20 shows the complete serial and Ethernet connection setup.
