Note:
At
Metasys
Release 10.0 and later,
modems (internal and external) and pagers are
no longer supported on NAE55 engines that
run the Linux operating system, but are still
supported on prior releases for engines that
use a Windows Embedded operating system.
If you receive from the factory a network
engine with Release 9.0 that has an internal
modem, you can field-upgrade the engine to
Release 10.0 or later to acquire new release
enhancements, but its modem and pager
functionality are lost. If you need modem and
pager functionality, do not upgrade the NAE55
engine to Release 10.0 or later.
Note:
If you receive an NAE55 engine from the
factory that is imaged with Release 9.0 or 10.0,
you can field-upgrade the engine to Release
10.1.
Installation
Follow these guidelines when installing the network
engine:
• Transport the network engine in the original
container to minimize vibration and shock
damage to the network engine.
• Verify that all the parts shipped with the network
engine. The data protection battery and network
engine ship together but are packaged separately.
• Do not drop the network engine or subject it to
physical shock.
• Do not open the network engine housing (except
the data protection battery compartment). The
network engine has no user-serviceable parts
inside.
Parts included
• one MS-NAE55xx-x or MS-NIE55xx-x model
• one data protection battery
• one installation instructions sheet
Materials and special tools needed
You can mount the NAE by using the fasteners
option or the DIN rail option.
• Fasteners option - Three fasteners appropriate for
the mounting surface:
- #8 screws - North America
- M4 screws - Europe
• DIN rail option - 36 cm (14 in.) or longer section of
35 mm (1 1/8 in.) for DIN rail mount applications
only.
