Safran VersaSync - Grounding; Initial Network Setup

2.2.2.4 Grounding
The VersaSync's DC power is not isolated from the chassis; during operation, the
negative DC of the power source becomes the ground of the VersaSync and its
chassis. Typical AC "earth ground" measures are unnecessary because of this
design.
Should you opt to ground your VersaSync directly to your vehicle, connect the
DC negative terminals of the power connector to the chassis of the unit and to
the vehicle metallic structure. Doing so will send the negative DC directly to the
vehicle, rather than the power supply. Use a grounding strap if the baseplate
can't make metal-to-metal contact with the mounting surface.
2.3 Initial Network Setup
After making the hardware connections outlined in the Installation Overview list,
the following information will help you to establish a network connection. Your
connection instructions will vary depending on your chosen physical con-
nections.
If your unit is connected to your network, you can quickly find and com-
municate with your VersaSync web user interface ("Web UI", used to con-
figure and monitor the unit)
via the default IP address, and a PC configured with the same subnet
mask (255.255.255.0)
using a DHCP-assigned address and a PC also connected to your net-
work. For more information, see "Zero Configuration Setup" on
page39.
If your unit is connected directly to a PC via the USB connection or an Eth-
ernet port: VersaSync has a Command Line Interpreter ("CLI"). You will
need a terminal emulator program installed on the PC that will be used to
configure VersaSync in order to communicate. Follow the instructions
below, or see "Setting up a Terminal Emulator" on page312 for more
detailed instructions and a list of CLI commands. Using the serial CLI con-
nection, you can set up access to the Web UI by setting or identifying an IP
address on your network. (See "Assigning a Static IP Address" on page41).
Default settings:
VersaSync network settings default to static IP addresses. The Ethenet ports
come preconfigured with IP addresses as follows:
Eth0 - 192.168.1.1
