Quick Start
This section describes how to power up your CRM-WIC and access the configuration options.
STEP 1: Powering Up
Locate the power adapter which came with your CRM-WIC. Plug the small end into the power supply
port on the upper right side of the CRM-WIC, and the large plug into a wall socket or compatible power
supply.
You should observe the following behavior in this order:
•
The green Power LED will immediately light. It will remain lighted while the CRM-WIC is
plugged in.
•
After approximately 5 seconds, ALL the LEDs will flash on.
•
Almost immediately, all the LEDs will then flash off, EXCEPT the green Power LED and the
blue Status LED, which will remain lighted.
•
About 10 seconds later, the RTS and DTR Serial LEDs for both serial ports will light on. In
addition, the LEDs for the four Digital I/O ports will also light on. The green Power LED
and the blue Status LED will still be steadily lighted at this point.
•
After another 10 seconds or so, the blue Status LED should start blinking slowly.
A slow, steady blink on the blue Status LED indicates that the CRM-WIC is ready to connect to an IP-
based LAN network and serve web and FTP requests.
Repeating multiples of fast flashes on the blue Status LED indicate errors.
