3. Setting up the PDS-8x1 Controller

This chapter provides detailed information about the "Self-Test" process, which is used to confirm
that the PDS-8x1 controller is operating correctly. Before beginning the "Self-Test" process, the
wiring test, Ethernet configuration and VxComm utility driver installation procedures must first be
fully completed. Follow the procedure described below:
Step 1: Connect the Power Supply and the Host PC
1. Ensure that the network settings on your PC are configured correctly.
2. Ensure that the Windows firewall or any Anti-Virus firewall software is correctly
configured or temporarily disable these functions; otherwise the
function in the VxComm Utility may not work as required. You may need to contact your
System Administrator for more details of how to do this.
3. Check that the Init/Run switch is in the
"Run" position.
4. Remove the I/O expansion slot cover from the PDS-8x1 controller, and then inserts a
serial module (optional) in the I/O expansion slot. (For example: I-8114iW)
