QUICK START – INSTALLATION GUIDE

Purpose of this Document

This document is designed to assist you in unpacking and installing a CTI 2500C-2572-B module. For additional
information, see the CTI 2572-B Installation and Operation Guide, available for download from the CTI web site
(www.controltechnology.com).

Introduction

The CTI 2572-B Ethernet Network Interface Module provides the capability to interface a CTI 2500 Series® Compact
controller to an Ethernet network using the TCP/IP protocol suite. The 2500C-2572-B module enables supervisory
control applications to access PLC memory via the local area network. In addition, the module supports peer-to-peer
communications for transferring data between PLCs and PLC programming activities.

Multi-Segment Display (MSD)

The Multi-Segment Display (MSD) is located below the status LEDs. During normal operation the MSD
will display the TCP/IP address of the module and the subnet mask in CIDR format. CIDR format is a
compact way of displaying the network mask. See the CTI 2572-B Installation and Operation Guide
(Appendix C) for more information regarding CIDR format.

1.3.3 Reset Button

The Reset button is a momentary contact switch that allows you to restart the module without having
to cycle power to the base. It is recessed to prevent inadvertent use. To reset the module, use a small
object such as the tip of a ball point pen to depress and hold the switch for approximately one second.
When the switch is released, the module will begin the startup sequence.
To reset the module network parameters to factory default values, hold the reset button down for 10
seconds or more.

1.3.4 Ethernet Port

The port uses an RJ-45 connector which allows attachment of Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) Ethernet cabling.
