This chapter provides detailed information about the "Self-Test" process, which is used to confirm
that the PDS-220Fx Series 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:
3.1 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

more details of how to do this.
