5. Programming

Once all connections have been made, system programming can commence. Use ELAN's
®
VIA! TOOLS setup software version 7.3 or higher for this purpose. For specific, detailed
instructions, please consult the VIA!TOOLS HELP file.

Setup Procedures

The SS1 System Station must receive a download from VIA!TOOLS in order to function cor-
rectly. ELAN strongly recommends using DHCP to allow the Router to automatically assign
parameters to the SS1 System Station.
To configure the system:
1. Ensure that the most current version of VIA!TOOLS is installed on a computer that is
connected to the network containing the SS1 System Station. A dedicated network is
strongly recommended.
2. Remove power from the SS1 System Station and the system's Router.
3. Connect the SS1 System Station's ETHERNET port to the Router using an Ethernet
cable.
4. Power up both the Router and the SS1 System Station. The Router should automati
cally assign an IP address to the SS1 System Station.
5. Once the steps above have been completed, open VIA!TOOLS (ver. 7.3 or higher) and
perform the procedures required to program the system. For specific, detailed
instructions, please consult the VIA!TOOLS HELP file.
