Step 5: Connect the Power Supply
Your groov Box requires a power supply with an output of 14-36 VDC, 24 VDC @ 1 amp. You can use
the power supply that comes with the groov Box, or provide your own. In either case, we
recommend using a UPS (uninterruptible power supply) for backup power and surge protection.
If you are using the power supply that came with the groov Box, do the following:
Plug the small connector on the power supply into the terminal marked 14–36 VDC, tighten the
screws. Plug the other end into a standard 120 or 240 VAC outlet. The LED marked PWR will light

ModbusTCP device, or OPC UA server is on a different network than your computer, connect
ETH0 to your computer's network and ETH1 to the other network.
If you are using both ETH0 and ETH1, make sure they have IP addresses on different subnets. In
some situations, this may require configuring a static IP address. Otherwise there may be
communication errors. For more information, see
