Assembly and Installation Pre-Installation Tasks Pre-planning is essential for successful installation. Discuss requirements with your sales representative and request dimensional drawings prior to construction of your site. Before installing any components, follow the safety information in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment. Ensure power is off and base is secured before proceeding with installation.
Loosen M6 bolts on the placeholder pipe. Remove the two larger ones. Take out the pipe. Place the laser or antenna in place of the pipe. The counterweight is adjustable via threaded rod it is mounted on. 10. The upper axis is limited to ±30°. The turntable is limited to ±120°.
Input / Output Connections Trigger The positioner is equipped with a TTL-compatible output. This output is capable of driving a 50 ohm load that can be used to trigger a measurement sweep on a network analyzer (or other measurement device equipped with a TTL-compatible external trigger input option).
Operation Before installing any components, follow the safety information in the ETS-Lindgren Product Information Bulletin included with your shipment. 2301 Precision Positioner Command Set Ensure the current travel limit settings will not cause damage to existing cables. Do not operate the 2301 Precision Positioner in a stalled condition. Doing so can cause damage to the drive unit and will void the warranty.

Module IP Address Command: MOD:IP <nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn> Description: The device default IP address and subnet mask is 192.168.0.100, 255.255.255.0. The default address and subnet mask are assigned to the device by ETS-Lindgren and do not change even if your computer reboots. The IP address can be changed using the MOD:IP command. The new address will not change even if your computer reboots.
Control Commands Acceleration in Milliseconds Command: A <nnnn> Description: Acceleration setting for variable speed devices. The number nnnn represents the time in milliseconds for the positioner to reach max speed. For high inertial loads, a longer acceleration time might be required. Query: Returns: The time in milliseconds for the positioner to reach max speed.

Seek Positive Command: SKP <nnn.n> Description: Instructs the device to begin seeking the specified target value in the position (up/clockwise) direction only. This command is provided primarily to support continuous rotation mode. It allows forcing seeking a position from a particular direction. Thus, a SKP from 181.0 to 180.0 will rotate clockwise to reach the target value.

The IP address of the device will need to be changed if more than one device is in the same (LAN).
A second method for reseting the IP configuration of the device is to connect to the device using any TCP/IP capable terminal application, and sending commands to it. PuTTY is a terminal emulator available for use. PuTTY is a free (MIT licensed) Windows Telnet and SSH client and can be downloaded from https://www.putty.org/.
Background Information Preparing a computer for connection is relatively simple if you have an Ethernet adapter installed. An Ethernet adapter, also called a network card, network interface card or network interface controller, provides a physical port for networking mediums such as Ethernet cables. It also communicates with the computer and allows it to access a network device.

Configure the Ethernet Adapter In Windows, click in the Start toolbar, then type in “change Ethernet settings.” In the search results, click “change Ethernet settings.” In the Settings window, click “Change adapter options.” Right click on the Ethernet Adapter you intend to configure, and select “Properties”. Ensure you are logged into an administrator account to change the configuration.
