3. Connecting your ED Device Connect a power supply providing a minimum of 1.1 Watts with an output voltage between +5VDC and +30VDC to the removable black terminal block. The optional PW-600 and PW-650 power supplies enable the device to be plugged easily into a standard power socket or powered via USB.
4. Network IP Addressing Connect the ED device to your local network or directly to your PC using a standard straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable. On connecting to the network, the device automatically checks if it is connected to a DHCP Server. If this is the case, the DHCP server will automatically allocate an IP address to the ED device.
1. Click on “File” > “Find Devices” button in the top left corner of the window. 2. Find your Brainboxes ED device by selecting a device and matching it with the corresponding MAC address available in the left hand panel.
Windows Serial port program e.g. Hyperterminal. A sample terminal program called PuTTY and a comprehensive list of protocol examples can be found on the CD and on our website www.brainboxes.com Command Format The command string is made up of several different parts. For example, the command $aa5vv can be broken down into as many as 6 separate parts.
