Spectracom VersaSync - 2.1 Installation Overview

2.1 Installation Overview
The steps that need to be performed prior to putting VersaSync into service include:
Installation: Hardware setup, mechanical installation, physical connections.
Setup: Establish basic access to the unit, so as to allow the use of the web user interface
("WebUI").
Configuration: Access the Web UI, configure the network, input and output references,
protocols (e.g., NTP), other settings.
Not all of the setup steps described in this manual may apply to you. Your unit installation rel-
ative to other connected devices, the cable selection and manufacturing, your chosen power
source, your project-specific infrastructure, and your planned access to your unit (either WebUI
or CLI), could all affect your setup needs.

During the procedure described below, you will connect the Power cable, the Multi I/O cable,
and the Ethernet cable.
The step-by-step instructions below outline the VersaSync installation and configuration process:
1.
Install VersaSync in the designated vehicle:
Ground the unit by connecting the DC negative terminals to the chassis of the unit,
and to the vehicle metallic structure.
