This Quick Start Guide provides a concise series of steps to get a pair of EXB-IP modules configured and
running quickly so that initial operation may be confirmed.
It is highly recommended that a pair of EXB-IP modules be tested in your application by first connecting them
“back-to-back” with the 10Base-T or fiber crossover cable included with this shipment. Once operation is
confirmed using this connection scheme, continue by reconfiguring the IP addressing information and
connecting the EXB-IP modules to the actual Ethernet communications channel to be used.
NOTE: DO NOT connect the EXB-IP modules to a live IP network until they have been
reconfigured with new IP addresses and subnet mask supplied by the network manager.
Network-wide problems could arise from connecting devices to a network without
coordination of addressing information. See the Installation section of this manual for full
information.
Set Option Switches and make Back-to-Back Connection
• Set OPTION switch positions 1 through 8 on the rear of both EXB-IP modules to the UP position.
• Connect the EXB-IP modules “back-to-back” via the 10Base-T connector on the rear of each EXB-IP
module using the supplied crossover cable (#S2-60760-100).
Connect MCN Network and Power
Once the above steps are completed:
• Connect other MCN system modules to the “NETWORK” connectors of each EXB-IP module.
• Connect power to the EXB-IP modules via the rear panel “DC IN” connector. The modules can be
powered-up in any sequence.
Once properly connected and powered, the “ERR” LED will be off on both modules and they are now ready for
use.
