NOTE:
When multiple modules are connected via the Back-
plane/power connector, all modules are powered via the Base
Module only. Do not connect power to each of the Expansion
Modules.
NOTE:
It will take about 15-30 seconds for the NETio modules to be
ready for operation after power is connected.

The modules must be used only with negative-ground
systems. Make sure the polarity of the power source
is correct. The module is protected from reverse
polarity by an internal diode and on-board fuse.
2.3 SET BASIC CONFIGURATION OF
THE NETio BASE MODULE
The following instructions give a summary of the basic settings for a
NETio Base Module.
Quick Start
Step #2:
Start a HyperTerminal session to
COM1
on the Base Module, and log
into NETio. Proceed to Section
2.3.1
.
Console Terminal
Connection
The NETio Base Module is configured using a PC running Hyper Ter-
minal or a console terminal (see
Figure 2-3
). Connect a PC to the NETio
Base Module’s
COM1
port and establish a HyperTerminal session using
the following parameters:
19200 bps, 8 bits, no parity, one stop bit
(8N1), flow control disabled, VT100 emulation
.
The COM1 port uses an RJ-45 connector. A DB-9 to RJ-45 adaptor with
cable is supplied with each NETio Base Module.
NOTE:
The
exact
parameters given above must be used for console
terminal communication. Improper settings are a common
cause of difficulty.
