3 Facing the rear of the EC9535 frame, make connections as follows:
• Connect the DE9 connector labeled ‘P1’ to the ‘CTRL 1’ connection in the ‘PRIMARY CON-
TROL’ section.
• Connect the DE9 connector labeled ‘P2’ to the ‘CTRL 1’ connection in the ‘SECONDARY
CONTROL’ section.
4 Facing the rear of the router, locate the router control serial connections:
• On the NV8288 and NV8288-Plus, the section is labeled ‘PRI CTRL’ and ‘SEC CTRL’
• On the NV8500 Family routers (NV8144, NV8280 or NV8576) the section is labeled ‘PRI’
and ‘SEC’.
5 Make connections as follows:
• Connect the DE9 connector labeled ‘P3’ to the ‘CTRL 1’ connection in the ‘PRI CTRL’ or
‘PRI’ section, depending on the router.
• Connect the DE9 connector labeled ‘P4’ to the ‘CTRL 1’ connection in the ‘SEC CTRL’ or
‘SEC’ section, depending on the router.
Making Diagnostic Connections
The diagnostic connections enable the EC9535 to communicate with the UniConfig application.
UniConfig is installed on a unit, separate from the router (e.g., PC), and is used to perform system
setup tasks, and configure and monitor the EC9535. For information about using UniConfig, see
the UniConfig User’s Guide.
There are two sets of diagnostic connections: one set is located on the front of the control cards
and one set is located on the rear of the EC9535, labeled ‘DIAG’. Which is used is entirely up to
you and your facility needs. Usually the control card connection is used when the diagnostic
connection to UniConfig is temporary. The diagnostic connections on the rear of the EC9535
frame are most often used to make a permanent connection to UniConfig. For a detailed
description of the serial connections, see
Diagnostic Connections on page 4.
Control Card Diagnostic Connections
A temporary diagnostic connection can be created using the DE9 port located on the front of
the primary control card. The baud rate for this port is locked to 9600.
How to Make Control Card Diagnostic Connections
1 Facing the front of the EC9535, open the door and locate the primary control card slot. The
primary control card is located on top (above) and the secondary control card is located
below. (See Figure 2-1 on page 11.)
2 On the front of the control card is a single serial port. Connect to the serial port using a DE9
connector and a serial cable.
The following lists the DE9 pin connectors for RS-232:
