3. Connect a Safe push button switch between the #3 bus and the direction push buttons.
4. Connect a Down push button switch between the Safe switch and the iControl ICTD ter-
minal as shown (active high).
5. Connect an Up push button switch between the Safe switch and the iControl ICTU ter-
minal as shown (active high).
Applying Power
1. Set the iBox Inspection switch to the Inspection position.
2. Set the Controller Stop switch to the Stop position.
3. Set the Test switch to On.
4. Turn on power at the main disconnect.
5. Watch the front panel displays of the iBox, the controller will take about 60 seconds to
initialize.
6. Check the iBox Computer, Safety A, and Safety B status LEDs. The LEDs should be
lighted solid green.
Setting Initial Operating Parameters
Once all Construction mode connections are complete, certain iControl parameters must be set
or verified. These settings must be accomplished using a computer running iView software.
The iBox may be accessed using iView or the iBox keypad. However, both are not allowed to
make changes at the same time. By default, the iBox keypad has control but once an iView user
has acquired write privileges (Privilege/Acquire) the keypad is prevented from making changes
until the iView user relinquishes the write privilege.
Connecting the iView PC
Please refer to “Important” on page 8-3 if you have not yet installed iView on your PC.
There are two ways to connect the iBox to a PC:
• Direct Connection: Connect the PC directly to the iBox through the iBox 3=PC port. Please
refer to “Direct Connections” on page 2-35.
• Peripheral LAN Connection: Connect the PC to the LAN hub supporting one or more iBox
controllers (iBox #1 port). If you are connecting to multiple iControls, please refer to the
iCue User Guide that accompanied the group controller for LAN instructions.
The illustration and table on the following pages provide examples of the factory default Ether-
net addresses used by iControls and iCue groups.
About LANs: LAN stands for Local Area Network. A LAN is basically several computers (or
smart equipment with a computer inside — like the iBox) all connected to a common point (the
hub) so they can communicate with each other. In order for a message from one computer to
reach the computer (or iControl/iBox) it wants to talk to, all the computers connected to the
LAN have to have their own address. The address is called a TCP/IP number. Please refer to
“System and LAN Ethernet” on page 11-15 for more detail.
