Addressing the TV-UC253-V through the Service port

The TV-UC253-V is addressed using the controller setup pages. The Local Network tab allows you to discover all i-
Vu® XT or TruVu™ devices on a single network and configure them from that page. See Addressing a network of
controllers using the controller setup Local Network tab (page 12) and the Local Network (page 44) tab.
You can connect the TV-UC253-V to a computer one of two ways.
CAUTION The USB local access cable provides a common ground connection between the computer and the
controller it connects to. Damage to the controller and possibly the computer's USB port will occur if the
controller's input power polarity was not maintained and was also not properly grounded (floating). If you are not
sure of the wiring polarity and that the controller was properly grounded, use a USB isolator between the computer
and the controller.
NOTE You cannot access the Service port by plugging an Ethernet cable into Eth0 or Eth1.
