Installing the E-DIO24-OEM

Unpacking

As with any electronic device, you should take care while handling to avoid damage from static
electricity. Before removing the device from its packaging, ground yourself using a wrist strap or by simply
touching the computer chassis or other grounded object to eliminate any stored static charge.
Contact us immediately if any components are missing or damaged.

Downloading the software

Refer to the E-DIO24-OEM product page on the on the Measurement Computing website for information about
the supported software you can download.
Install the software before you install the hardware
The driver needed to run the device is installed when you install the software. Therefore, you need to install the
software package you plan to use before you install the hardware.

Connecting external power

E-DIO24-OEM operation requires a 5 volt power supply. External power can be connected to either the barrel
connector ( ) or 2-pin terminal block (

Connect a 5 VDC supply to either connector J4 or W1
Do not attempt to apply power to both external power connectors simultaneously.
A 5 volt, 1 amp external power adapter (PS-5V1AEPS) is available as a separate purchase for connection to
The Power LED turns on when 5 V power is supplied. If the voltage supply is less than 4.2 V or more than
5.6 V, the POWER LED does not turn on. Refer to Figure 2 on page 10 for the location of the

Connecting the E-DIO24-OEM

The E-DIO24-OEM requires a TCP and UDP connection to a network or computer.
Using the Ethernet cable provided, connect the E-DIO24-OEM to a 10Base-T- or 100Base-TX compatible
Ethernet port, hub, or switch. When connecting the E-DIO24-OEM for the first time, make sure that you
connect to a local network with DHCP enabled. If you are unsure whether you have access to a local network or
that DHCP is enabled on that network, you should connect directly to a Windows PC.
It may take a minute or two for the network DHCP server to detect the device and assign an address. The green
Link/activity LED on the lower left of the Ethernet connector turns on when a valid Ethernet link is established,
and blinks when network activity is detected.
Once the E-DIO24-OEM is physically connected to the local network or PC, you can run the software (InstaCal
for example) to establish a connection. If a connection cannot be established, make sure the device is using the
default configuration by following the instructions in the
Once a connection is established and you can communicate with the device, you can change the configuration
for other network scenarios.
