2. INSTALLATION AND STARTUP.
1.
Insert the NIMBUS card into the appropriate slot of the
device. It needs to be well inserted.
The card will be powered directly by the device, meaning
that no external power is necessary. If the card has been
correctly inserted, the power LEDs will light up. See the red
box in Fig. 2.

2.
Connect one end of an RJ45 cable to the card and the other
end to the Ethernet socket. The RJ45 port lights on the card
should light up. See the red box in Fig. 3.

Once the NIMBUS card is correctly powered by the device,
it will be ready for use. The NIMBUS card will come with
the latest available version already installed by default.
Once the NIMBUS card protective cover is in place, it
should look like the image shown in Fig. 4.

2.1. INITIAL CONNECTION
Important : The card has a preset IP address to enable initial
connection. This address is fixed and always available; how-
ever, it is necessary to configure a secondary IP address in order
to use the card correctly.
Once the NIMBUS card has been correctly installed in the de-
vice via the corresponding slot, an available IP address must
then be correctly configured in order to gain remote access to
the card’s onboard panel.
2.1.1. Point-to-point connection (Ethernet cable).
The fixed IP is always available at the address 100.0.0.1.
To access it, connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the dedi-
cated slot on the NIMBUS card and the other end to your com-
puter.
Configure the point-to-point connection by accessing network
connections and creating a new connection with the following
parameters:
After you have correctly created the point-to-point connection,
you should be able to access the NIMBUS card via this IP ad-
dress. If you access the card via this address, you can change
the card’s final address in the panel’s ‘Network’ section ( 3.6.1.
Network ).
2.2. INITIAL CONFIGURATION
The NIMBUS card comes configured with the necessary param-
eters to enable the panel and all of its functionalities to be used
satisfactorily.
These are the following:
•
Auto-configuration of the device into which it is incorpo-
rated.
•
NTP servers.
•
Active communication services (MODBUS, TCP and SNMP).
•
IP address by DHCP (default) .
•
Active RTC.
•
MODBUS address of the default slave to 1.
Any of these parameters can be modified at any time. For more
information, see section ‘3.6. System (only for the Adminis-
trator)’
Keep in mind that modifying some parameters could
cause the panel to behave incorrectly. Do not modify
them if you are unsure of your actions.
