Using the LED Status Indicators
There are two LEDs on the gateway which display the status of the communica-
tions. The first LED, which is located between the dip switches (labeled
“Controllers” on the gateways with the enclosure), display the status of the
Modbus communications between the gateway and the control circuit board. The
second LED (labeled “DeviceNet” on the gateways with the enclosure) display the
status of the DeviceNet communications.

Installing the EDS Files
There are multiple EDS (electronic date sheet) files associated with the gateway
depending on how many controllers are attached to a gateway. The files are named
based on the number of controllers (i.e. an EDS file for a gateway with three con-
trollers attached is named 3Conair.EDS). Choose the appropriate file for your
application and install it using your DeviceNet network’s EDS installer options.
Once the EDS files are installed they will be shown under the “Conair Common
Control” heading in the EDS file manager. If you install more than one of the EDS
files the files will all be named “Conair Common Control” with the hexadecimal
designator to differentiate the different files. By opening the devices parameter list
you can tell how many controllers are associated with the EDS file.
