MiiNePort W1 Series

Connecting to the Network

When developing your application, you may wish to use Ethernet to configure the MiiNePort W1, especially if
your wireless LAN is not functional yet. You may connect to the network using the evaluation board's RJ45
Ethernet port. In order to use the LAN connection, make sure the network cable is already plugged in before
the unit is powered on.
After power is connected in the next step, the RJ45 connector will indicate a valid connection to the Ethernet
as follows:
A green LED indicator indicates a valid 100 Mbps Ethernet network connection and will flicker
as data is being transmitted.
A yellow LED indicator indicates a valid 10 Mbps Ethernet network connection and will flicker as
data is being transmitted.

Connecting the Power

Connect the 12 to 48 VDC power line to the power jack on the evaluation board.

Connecting to a Serial Device

Use a serial cable to connect the serial device to the data port, P2, on the evaluation board. (P1 is reserved)

DI/O Test Settings

The MiiNePort W1 includes 8 digital I/O channels. Each digital I/O channel is a GPIO (General Purpose I/O)
channel that can be set to "digital output" or "digital input" mode by software. When developing your own
applications, be aware of the voltage limits. The output current is 1 mA.

The output current for each digital output channel carries only 1 mA.
On the evaluation board, the DIO mode jumper selects whether a digital channel will be connected to the
DIP switch for input testing, or to the LED for output testing. If DIO1 is set to digital input mode on the
MiiNePort W1, you can use a jumper setting on the evaluation board to connect DIO1 to the DIP switch.
Digit one on the DIP switch will then be the input device for DIO1. When you flip the switch on or off, you
can see the status of DIO1 change on the web console or in the Windows utility.
