1. If the DigiCORA PC is running, switch it off.
Before you switch the DigiCORA PC on, make sure that an active
device (Ethernet switch or SPSxxx) is connected to RJ-45 (LAN)
connector. If the active device is SPSxxx, it must be running.
If no active device is connected to the DigiCORA PC, switch
DigiCORA off, connect the active device to RJ-45 (LAN)
connector, and switch DigiCORA PC on. If you use SPSxxx as the
active device, it must be switched on 3 minutes before switching
power on to DigiCORA PC.

RTE21 elevation unit.
