TS-7400/TS-9441 MANUAL
GETTING STARTED
2 GETTING STARTED
2.1 Installation Procedure
Before performing any set up or placement procedures, take the precautions outlined in
this section.
Handling the Board Safely
Be sure to take appropriate Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) precautions. Disconnect the
power source before moving, cabling, or performing any set up procedures.
!
Warning
Inappropriate handling may cause damage to the board.
Setup and Installation Instructions
Follow these guidelines for safety and maximum product performance:
✔
Observe local health and safety requirements and guidelines for manual material
handling
Setup Tools
Depending on placement and cabling, you may need the following tools:
✔
Small flat-blade screwdriver
✔
Small Phillips screwdriver
Setup Procedure
After locating, setting up, grounding, and cabling the
TS-7400
:
✔
Apply power
✔
Monitor the
TS-7400
using a terminal emulator to verify that the board is operating
properly
Disconnecting AC Power
✔
Unplug from the power source.
✔
Disconnect other cables as required.
2.2 Console and Power Up
An ANSI terminal or a PC running a terminal emulator and a TS-9441 peripheral are
required to communicate with your
TS-7400
computer
.
Simply connect an ANSI terminal
(or emulator) to the console header on the TS-9441 using a null modem cable and the
DB9 adapter for the header (these are included in the TS-ARM Development Kit), using
serial parameters of 115,200 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, no flow control, 1 stop bit (8N1).
If you are running Linux, the minicom program works well, Windows users can run the
Hyperterm application. Technologic Systems offers a null modem cable with both 25 pin
and 9 pin connectors at each end as part number CB7-05. The TS-9441 also requires the
10-pin header to 9-pin Sub-D adapter which is P/N: RC-DB9.
Note
TS-7400 only has TTL UARTs and to connect to the serial console with a PC's
serial port you need to use the TS-9441 or external RS232 level converters.
