Making An Initial Connection - Dedicated Micros TransVu Operation Manual

Making an Initial Connection

The first step in configuring your TransVu is to make contact with it using the serial port.
Although the TransVu supports DHCP (automatic allocation of an IP address) Dedicated Micros recommend
you allocate a fixed IP address.
The method for allocating a fixed IP address is detailed below.
1. Connect the Multi-pole connector with the correctly terminated cable loom to the TransVu
2. Switch the vehicles ignition to ON, the TransVu will now boot up. (If ignition sense is used)
3. Ask your network admin to complete the following with suitable values:
IP address
Subnet mask
Gateway
4. Connect the supplied RS232 cable from COM 5 on the TransVu to your PC serial port.
5. On your PC, from the Start menu, select Programs> Accessories> Communications>
HyperTerminal and create a new connection using the COM port and the following settings:
Bits per second – 38400, Data bits - 8, Parity – None, Stop bits – 1, Flow control - None
6. In HyperTerminal, log on to the TransVu by typing +++ and pressing enter.
7. At the Transvu> command prompt, type the following commands, replacing <aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd>
with the values from step 3.
Press enter after each setting:
<ESC>m\ether_ip\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
<ESC>m\subnet\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
<ESC>m\gateway\aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd
<ESC>m\save
reset (to restart the TransVu)
8. Connect a crossed network cable between the TransVu and the configuration PC / Laptop
(Provision should have been made for this when wiring the cable loom )
9. Open a Web browser and type the IP address of TransVu in the Address Bar.
For example, "http://169.254.123.1/".
If everything is working you should now see the TransVu Viewer Home-Page. If not, check status LEDs on
the front of TransVu, at least one LED should be lit, if not for refer to the Installation manual and check
cable.
