3 Getting Started
This chapter is useful when connecting to the DVL for the first time, and deals with connecting the
PC to the instrument and other information that is important for first time use.
3.1 Checking the Inventory
Check the content of the received package against the packing list included in the shipment. See
the
Appendix for an example. Do not hesitate to contact us if you find any part of the delivery
missing.
3.2 Connecting the DVL to PC
The Nortek DVL offers both serial communications and Ethernet. For a first time use, connect using
the Ethernet communication.
Ethernet communications
The Ethernet communication has been implemented by using a dedicated network processor, and
needs to be powered by connecting a power supply to the external power breakout on the cable.
Note that powering through the Ethernet cable will also power the rest of the electronics. Note also
that if power is supplied only through the Serial connector, the Ethernet processor is unavailable.
Connect the supplied test cable to the Ethernet connector and apply power to the breakout cable.
The blue LED should start flashing after a short period of time.
The first time using the instrument, the network address needs to be properly configured for the
network. For new users who are unaware of how the network is set up, the instrument should be
plugged either directly into a computer (Ethernet cable) or via an Ethernet switch connected to the
computer. For more information consult the
Appendix .
If you use a computer Ethernet port that has status lights, verify that the link is active by looking
for a stable green light on the port. If an Ethernet switch is used, the Ethernet port should also
show an active Ethernet link. If the status light is not lit refer to the Troubleshooting chapter.
Check the internet access status at the notification area in the taskbar of your PC (see image
below)

find the instrument on the PC
Serial communications
Connect the Serial communication cable to the serial connector.
Use a Serial-to-USB converter to connect the cable to the PC. If the converter has light indicators,
confirm that they are lit. It is recommended to connect the cable and instrument to the converter
before plugging the converter into the PC. In this order the possible problem related to automatic
detection of driver is avoided. If necessary, check that the correct software driver is installed.
Apply power along the line. The blue LED should start flashing the moment power is applied.
To change the baud rate and serial protocol, the command line interface can to be used. Refer to
the Integrators Guide for the specific commands, and use a terminal emulator (see next section).
The correct serial port and baud rate can also be specified through the web browser interface or in
the MIDAS software (see next section).
