3. Getting Started

This section describes a simplified installation procedure for the TSM/RSM hardware,

which will allow you to communicate with the unit in order to demonstrate basic features

and check for proper operation.

Note that this Quick Start procedure does not provide a detailed description of unit

configuration, or discuss advanced operating features in detail. For more information,

please refer to the remainder of this User’s Guide.

3.1. Apply Power to the TSM/RSM

Refer to the safety precautions listed at the beginning of this User's Guide, and then

connect the unit to an appropriate power source. Connect the power supply cable to

the unit’s power inlet, snap the Cable Keeper into place, and then connect the cable

to an appropriate power supply. Please refer to the power rating label on the unit

concerning power requirements and maximum load. Note that some TSM/RSM series

units feature two power inlets.

When power is applied to the TSM/RSM, the ON LED on the instrument front panel

should light, and the RDY LED should begin to flash within 90 seconds. This indicates

that the unit is ready to receive commands.

3.2. Connect Your PC to the TSM/RSM

The TSM/RSM can either be controlled by a local PC Serial Port, controlled via modem,

or controlled via TCP/IP network. In order to select parameters, connect ports or control

outlets, commands are issued to the TSM/RSM via either the Network Port, Modem Port

or Serial Setup Port.

• NetworkPort: Connect the your 10Base-T or 100Base-T network interface to the

TSM/RSM 10/100Base-T Network Port.

• SerialPort: Use the supplied Ethernet cable and RJ45 to DB-9 adapter to connect

your PC COM port to Serial Port 1 (the System SetUp Port.) For a description of the

Serial Port Interface, please refer to Appendix B.

• Modem: If the TSM/RSM includes an Internal Modem, connect your external phone

line to the TSM/RSM Phone Line (Modem) Port.
