9 GETTING STARTED
Before the DS73 or DS73TP and the DAC can be used, there are a few parameters which must be configured by the
user.
First time power-up: When the DS73 or DS73TP is first powered up, it will cycle through its diagnostics until it finds
that it has not been programmed with an IP address or subnet mask. At this point, it should flash its front panel
LEDs 3 & 4. An IP address and subnet mask are minimum requirements for module operation. These parameters are
configured using the following procedure:
1. Access the DS73 through the Service Port: The DS73 is programmed through the Service Port only. Attach
a 9FRJ45PC-3 or 25FRJ45PC-3 serial adapter to your PC's com port and connect a crossed RJ-45 cable
between the serial adapter and the DS-SeriesEIA-232 service port. Other terminal devices may
require a
different adapter, consult the owner's manual or Bay Tech Technical Support. Once the cable is in place, invoke a
communications program on the PC (e.g., BayTech TERM.EXE) and set the serial parameters for 9600 baud,
8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity. The following commands are all case sensitive, so be sure to enter them
accordingly.
Type $BTm<cr> where m is a number corresponding to the DS73's installed location in the unit (1 to 16) and
<cr> is Carriage Return . This number may be determined by locating the module in the unit and reading its
associated module number from the back panel area.
2. Obtain the DS73's configuration menu: After the module select string has been entered, you should see a
message such as "Requested connection made." After receiving this message, type
$CONFIG<cr> . This
will display the DS73's status screen and the main configuration menu.
3. Program the module's IP address: Type "1" from the main configuration menu (IP Address). You will be
prompted to enter an IP address in dotted decimal form. This consists of 4 numbers between 0 and 255
separated by periods (ex: 200.4.123.17). After typing the desired address, type
Carriage Return to enter the
information. The DS73 will return to the main configuration menu.
4. Program the module's Subnet Mask: Type "2" from the main configuration menu (Subnet Mask). You will
be prompted to enter a subnet mask in dotted decimal form. This parameter is used by the DS73 to
determine if a destination is a local address or one that resides on another subnet. A binary representation
of a properly entered subnet mask will consist of all "1"s in bit locations corresponding to the network
portion of the IP address and all "0"s in bit locations corresponding to the peripheral portion of the IP
address. Observing the same conventions as for the IP address, enter the subnet mask (ex:255.255.255.128)
followed by
Carriage Return .
There may be other parameters you wish to configure, such as a gateway/router, but for now, this is enough to get
going. If you wish to change other parameters at this time, consult the relevant sections of this addendum. When
you are finished, type "X" at the main menu to exit configuration. Reset the unit by typing
$BTRESET<cr> or by
cycling unit power for the changes to take effect.
After resetting the unit, you should see all 4 module LEDs flash on and off two times and then remain off. This is a
normal initialization indication. After the second LED flash, the module is on line and ready for network access.
Configuration of other modules on the unit may be necessary or desirable, depending on your application and unit
module population. This configuration may be accomplished through the DS73 or the service port. If you need
additional help, call Bay Tech's Technical Support line for assistance in setting up your unit.
10 MAINTENANCE
Since there are no adjustments and no moving parts in the M Series DAC or the DS73 Ethernet module, therefore
preventative maintenance is unnecessary.
