Hardware Installation

Use the following procedure to install the DeviceMaster LT 16-port with an
external power supply.
1. Record the MAC address and serial number of the DeviceMaster LT unit on
the customer service label provided.
You may need the MAC address during driver configuration. The serial
number and MAC address (starts with 00 C0 4E) are located on a label on the
DeviceMaster LT.
Note: Do not connect multiple units until you have changed the default IP
address, see
2. Place the DeviceMaster LT on a stable surface.
3. Connect the DeviceMaster LT to the same Ethernet network segment as the
host PC using either port labeled 10/100 using a standard Ethernet cable.
Do not connect RS-422/485 devices until the appropriate port interface
type has been configured. The default port setting is RS-232.
4. Apply power to the DeviceMaster LT by connecting the AC power adapter to
the DeviceMaster LT, the power cord to the power adapter, and plugging the
power cord into a power source. See
Page 109 if you want to provide your own power supply.
5. Verify that the STAT LED has completed the boot cycle and network
connection for the DeviceMaster LT is functioning properly.
Note: The RX/TX LEDs cycle during a reboot.
• STAT (Status LED) - If the Status LED on the DeviceMaster LT is lit, it
indicates the DeviceMaster LT has power and it has completed the boot
cycle.
The STAT LED flashes while booting and it takes approximately 15 seconds
for the Bootloader to complete the cycle. When the Bootloader completes
the cycle, the LED has a solid, steady light that blinks approximately every
10 seconds.
• Ethernet LEDs - The green LED indicates that a link has been established
and the yellow LED indicates activity.
6. Go to Initial Configuration
configure the DeviceMaster LT for use.
