3. SET-UP of the MR3000DMS
First of all, please connect the MR3000DMS to the main power or to a DC power, depending on the
version purchased. In case no power is provided, the internal battery can guarantee an autonomy
of about 40 hours.
You have to open the MR3000DMS and close the fuse (F1), in order to switch on the device.
All 3 LEDs (green, yellow, red) are on and the 1
st
and 3
rd
line of the LCD become black during start-
up of the DMS. Then all the 3 LEDs go off. The green LED is blinking while the DMS updates the
database of the files on the SD card.
Once the unit is started, only the green POWER LED remains on. Now you can establish
communication with the DMS using any of the 2 methods described below.
3.1 Connecting to the DMS for the first time (direct connection)
To communicate with the DMS you do not need any special software: any Web browser is
sufficient. There are 2 methods for direct connection:
 Wired connection via router: This method offers the most possibilities and needs no
configuration at start-up, but you need a router. If the router has access to the Internet, you
can do everything with your MR3000DMS, including firmware upgrades. You can attach
many DMS to the router and communicate to all of them simultaneously. The disadvantage
of this method is that you need an additional device.
 Direct wired connection: If the MR3000DMS ordered has LAN interface and there is no
router involved, you will have to adjust the network settings of the PC. Obviously, you can
communicate only to one MR3000DMS at a time. This is not possible if the MR3000DMS
has fiber optic interface, since a converter is needed to communicate with the PC.
Depending on the method you choose, the IP address of the DMS will be different. The following
paragraphs describe these methods in details.
3.1.1. Wired connection via router
Depending of the MR3000DMS model (FO or LAN), you will have to use either a standard
router/switch or a switch/router with FO ST connectors.
In case you have the LAN version, please use an Ethernet cable to connect the DMS to one of the
LAN ports of your switch. Your PC needs a connection to the same switch (wired). Make sure to
disable any other LAN connections on your PC.
In case you have the FO version, use a FO ST cable to connect directly to the FO switch. (see Fig.
3.1.1).
