Logical Installation
• During the first time configuration (unit initialisation) the RS-232C cable must be
connected to the unit and the COM port being used on the computer terminal must be
properly selected to perform the following operation.
• During subsequent sessions, the unit setup (e.g., IP addresses) can be edited remotely using
a LAN connection. This is done by selecting the Edit Data/Change Unit Information item
on the MCS Unit menu. When this method is used, the computer and unit must be within
the same subnet or communication will be lost after the new configuration becomes
effective.
