3.1 Connecting all components
– Single NIC-500
This section describes the cable connections to and from a NIC-500. Refer to Chapter 2 for
information on NIC-500 ports.
NOTE: Make sure all connections are made before plugging in the battery and powering
up the system.
Odometer: Determine if an odometer will be used to trigger the system (from a SmartCart for
example). If so, connect the odometer cable to the odometer port on the NIC-500 (Figure 3-3).
Ethernet: If a hardware connection (rather than Wi-Fi) is used to connect the device to the NIC-
500, connect an Ethernet cable between the computer/tablet and the Ethernet port on the NIC-
500 (Figure 3-3).
GPS: If a GPS is being used, the GPS must have a serial output cable. More information can
be found in
Section 3.3. Connect this serial cable from the GPS to the serial port on the NIC-
500 (Figure 3-4).
