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. The DC System Controller front panel has the following
connectors:
– A female DB-9 connector for connection to the control console.
– An RJ-45 10/100BaseT connector for connection to the network.
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.
