2 Installation

This chapter describes how to install the sat-nms IO-FEP. You find a guide how to connect, configure and mechanically mount the IO-FEP below.

Before you start, please first read the Safety Instructions chapter below. It contains some important recommendations to prevent damage from the IO-FEP.

Then, we strongly recommend to do a first setup of the IO-FEP on a lab desk before installing it at it's final location. This is mainly for one reason:

1. To setup the processor's IP parameters, the PC used for configuring and the IO-FEP must either be connected to the same Ethernet hub or must be connected directly with a crossover cable. The initialization program does not work through routers intelligent network switches.

Hence, the typical sequence of tasks when putting an sat-nms IO-FEP into operation is as follows:

1. Read the chapter Safety Instructions
2. Set the device's IP address
3. Mechanically mount the device.
4. Connect the IO-FEP at it's destination environment.
