form system setup tasks, and configure and monitor the router. (See Configuration on page 53.) For
information about using UniConfig, see the UniConfig User’s Guide.
Diagnostic connections are made by connecting the router to the PC running the UniConfig appli-
cation. The diagnostic serial connections are located on the rear of the router, labeled ‘DIAG’. For
a detailed description of the diagnostic connections, see
Diagnostic Connections on page 13.
Router IP Address
If an Ethernet connection is being used between the router and the router control system, an IP
address for the router needs to be set on the control card. (See
Ethernet Control System Connec-
tions on page 40 . ) The IP address is set using UniConfig. However, the PC running UniConfig can-
not communicate with the router until an IP address for the router is entered. To solve this problem,
you can connect to the control system using a serial connection, enter the IP address, and then
replace the serial connection with an Ethernet connection. (See
Serial Control Connections on
page 38 and Ethernet Control System Connections on page 40.)
How to Make a Diagnostic Connection
1 Locate the diagnostic connections on the rear of the router, as shown in Figure 3-17. The diag-
nostic connections are labeled ‘DIAG’.

2 Connect to one of the two ‘DIAG’ connections using a DE9 connector and a serial cable. The
ports are set for RS-232. For the NV8288 only, RS-422 may also be used:
• The following lists the DE9 pin connectors for RS-232:
• The DE9 connector can be set for RS-422 for the NV8288 router, but adjustments will need
to be made in UniConfig. For more information, see the UniConfig User’s Guide.
