4. Hardware Installation
4.1. Connecting the Power Supply Cable(s)
Refer to the cautions listed below and at the beginning of this User's Guide, and then
connect the AFS-16 to an appropriate 100 to 240 VAC power supply.
CAUTIONS:
• Before attempting to install this unit, please review the warnings and
cautions listed at the front of the user’s guide.
• This device should only be operated with the type of power source
indicated on the instrument nameplate. If you are not sure of the type of
power service available, please contact your local power company.
• Reliable earthing (grounding) of this unit must be maintained. Particular
attention should be given to supply connections when connecting to
power strips, rather than directly to the branch circuit.
Note: The AFS-16 includes two power inlets. You can connect either one or
both of these inputs to your power source. If both power inlets are connected,
they should be connected to separate power sources in order that the second
power source can serve as a redundant back up in the event of failure.
Set the Power Switch on the AFS-16 Power Module to the ON Position. The ON LED
on the Power Module and the A/B indicators on the Control Module should light. After
about 90 seconds, the A/B indicators should go out, indicating that the unit is ready to
receive commands. Note that if the AFS-16 needs to download SSH keys, it may take
longer than 90 seconds for the A/B indicators to switch off.
4.2. Connecting the Network Cable
Use the supplied 10/100Base-T Ethernet cable to connect the AFS-16 Ethernet
port to your TCP/IP network. Note that the AFS-16 includes a default IP address
(192.168.168.168) and a default subnet mask (255.255.255.0.) When installing the
AFS-16 in a working network environment, it is recommended to define network
parameters as described in Section 5.9.
