4 Quick Start: Network Management Card – DC Series
Quick Configuration
Local access to
the control
console
You can use a local computer that connects to the Management
Card through the Management Card’s serial port.
The type of cable to use depends on the location of the
Management Card in the DC Power Plant.
• Type 1: The Management Card is an integrated part of
the DC System Controller.
– To connect to the control console, the DC System
Controller front panel has a female DB-9 connector.
– To connect to the network, the DC System Controller
has a RJ-45 10/100BaseT connector.
For Type 1 equipment use the straight-through serial
cable (940-0085 or 0129-6) supplied with the DC Power
Plant.
• Type 2: The Management Card is not a part of the DC
System Controller. It is installed separately from the
controller. The female DB-9 connector for connection to
the control console is next to the Management Card.
For Type 2 equipment use a smart-signaling (advanced
signaling) cable (940-0024 or 940-1524) supplied with
the DC Power Plant.
To connect Type 1 equipment:
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any
service that uses that port.
2. Use the Type 1 cable (940-0085 or 0129-6) to connect
the selected port to the serial port on the DC System
Controller.
To connect Type 2 equipment:
1. Select a serial port at the local computer, and disable any
service that uses that port.
2. Use the smart-signaling (advanced signaling) cable
(940-0024 or 940-1524) to connect the selected port to
the serial port on the mounting bracket of the
Management Card.
Note
Do not attach the cable to the serial port on
the front panel of the DC System Controller.
