Perform a Quick Start

This section provides a quick overview of the steps necessary to
configure the 1756-MVI module.
Note that this information is not meant to be
More
comprehensive. For more detail, refer to the 1756-MVI
Programming Reference Manual, publication
1756-RM004A-EN-P.

Connect the Console

1. Place the Setup jumper in the setup position as described on
page 7.
2. Connect a terminal using terminal communication software
(e.g., Hyperterminal) to the MVI module's console port, PRT1.
This is an RS232 DTE port, which requires a null-modem cable
to connect to a PC serial port.
3. Configure the console terminal for 19200 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop
bit, no parity. Configure the terminal emulation mode as ANSI
or VT100.
4. Turn on the power to the MVI module. The MVI module
includes an embedded BIOS and DOS-compatible operating
system. The boot messages should appear on the console. If
no messages are seen, check to be sure the Setup jumper is
installed and that the cable connections are correct.

Configure the Module

The embedded BIOS initializes the module and allows you to
configure the module using the BIOS Setup Menu.
1. To enter the Setup Menu, press Ctrl-C on the console
terminal when prompted. (If the module has already booted,
type "reboot" at the prompt.)
