Communications Ports
NOTE: Never connect two RTACs via USB to one PC.
All web access, settings changes, and ODBC connec-
tions use either the RTAC Ethernet ports or the front
USB type B port. Until you have configured the Ethernet
interfaces on the RTAC, you will need to use the supplied
USB type B cable to access the RTAC web interface. The
ACSELERATOR RTAC installation will place the required
USB driver on your PC so that you can allow Windows
to install the driver automatically when it detects the
USB connection. Plug the USB cable into the RTAC and
into your PC. If you receive a prompt to connect to Win-
dows Update, select No, not at this time and press Next.
Then use the Windows Device Installation Wizard and
follow the automatic install prompts to install the SEL
USB driver.
After completing this step, you can use IP address
172.29.131.1 to access the RTAC web interface through
the USB cable. See Section 7: Security and Account
Management in the
ACSELERATOR RTAC SEL-5033
Instruction Manual for RTAC web password setup.
The SEL-2241 has four nonisolated serial ports. You can
select all RTAC serial ports through software to be either
EIA-232 or EIA-485/EIA-422. You can configure any
serial protocol on the RTAC to use any of these serial
ports. See Table 1 for the pinout of the RTAC serial ports.
