2.  Hardware Installation

2.1.  Apply Power to the AFS-16-1

Refer to the safety precautions listed at the beginning of this User’s Guide, and then 

connect the unit to a 100 to 240 VAC power source.  Connect the power supply 

cables to the unit’s power inlets and then connect the cables to appropriate power 

supplies.
Set the Power Switch on the AFS-16-1 Power Module to the ON Position.  The ON 

LED on the Power Module and the A/B indicators on the Control Module should 

light.  After about 90 seconds, the A/B indicators should go out, indicating that the 

unit is ready to receive commands.

2.2.  Connect Your PC to the AFS-16-1

The AFS-16-1 can either be controlled by a local PC Serial Port, controlled via 

optional external modem, or controlled via TCP/IP network.  In order to select 

parameters or control switching functions, commands are issued to the AFS-16-1 via 

either the Ethernet Port or RS232 Console Port.

• 

Ethernet Port:

  Connect your 10Base-T or 100Base-T network interface to the 

AFS-16-1 Control Module 10/100Base-T Network Port.

• 

RS232 Port:

  Use the supplied Ethernet cable and adapter to connect your PC 

COM port to the RS232 Console Port on the AFS Control Module as described 

in the User's Guide.  For a description of the RS232 Port Interface, please refer 

to the User's Guide.

• 

Modem:

  If desired, an optional external modem can also be installed at the 

RS232 Port.  For more information, please refer to the User's Guide.
