Can I Use The Tp-Link And The Gateway At The Same Time; Can I Hardwire My Tp-Link To 12 Volt Power; The Tp-Link Only Has The Power Led On - IntelligentAg RECON Troubleshooting Manual

Can I use the TP-Link and the gateway at the same time?

If you are also using Intelligent Ag's Engage Zone Control, the Engage Zone Control gateway
works with the WBFM. Do not use a TP-Link.
Running both the gateway and the TP-Link on the same system will cause ECUs to "jump" from
one network to another, causing ECU disconnects.

Can I hardwire my TP-Link to 12 volt power?

WARNING! RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK: Verify that the tractor and power
converter are completely powered off before completing these steps. Intelligent Ag is not
responsible for any damage that results from modifying WBFM components.
TP-Link Model CPE 5210 and CPE 7210 (supplied with an Ethernet cable that has a cigarette
lighter adapter on one end): Cut the cable's power cord immediately before the cigarette lighter
adapter and discard the adapter. Twist the brown pair together and connect them to ground.
Twist the blue pair together and connect them to FUSED and SWITCHED 12 volt power circuit.
TP-Link Model CPE 210 (supplied with a 12 VDC to 120 VAC inverter): Requires 24 VDC. This
TP-Link itself should not be hard wired, but you can hardwire the inverter to 12 VDC fused and
switched power.
1. Cut the power converter's power cord immediately before the cigarette lighter adapter
and discard the adapter.
2. Separate the two wires and strip about ½ inch of the wire.
3. Connect the power converter wires to a power source—the wire with white text on it is
positive, and the wire without text is negative. You may crimp or solder the wires,
depending on your preference.
4. Power on the power converter.

The TP-Link only has the power LED on

The TP-Link has lost its configuration file and has been reset to its factory default settings. The
most common cause of this is starting the tractor while the TP Link is powered on—the
momentary drop in voltage can reset the TP Link. To avoid this, always make sure the TP Link
is completely powered down whenever starting the tractor.
To reconfigure the TP-Link, refer to the steps below for your TP-Link model.
TP-Link Model CPE 5210 and 7210: Contact Intelligent Ag for further instructions.
