6.0 E4 System Setup
6.1 Introduction
This section provides instructions on setting up an installed E4
system. To set up an E4 system you need a PC running the
FreeSpace
®
Installer™ software.
6.2 Connecting your PC to an
E4 system
Before you can set up the E4 system, your PC must first be phys-
ically connected to the E4 unit with a serial cable and then that
connection must be activated using the Installer™ software.
1. Connect the RS-232 serial port of your PC to the RS-232
serial port on the rear panel of the E4 unit using a straight
serial data cable.
2. Set the E4 rear panel POWER switch to ON. When the E4
unit is powered up and ready, the SYSTEM STATUS indica-
tor is dark (unlit) and the STANDBY indicator is amber.
3. Press the STANDBY push button to switch the E4 hardware
to the operating mode. The STANDBY indicator will turn off
and the SYSTEM STATUS indicator will be green. (If a sys-
tem fault condition exists, the indicator will be red.)
Programmer’s Note: If the E4 system experiences a
brownout or power loss, the E4 hardware will return to
power in the STANDBY mode. To return to operation,
press the STANDBY button, or press any key on any
user Interface.
4. Launch the Installer™ software. See “Using FreeSpace
Installer Software on page 34 for the software launching
sequence.
