6.0 FreeSpace ® 4400 System Setup
6.1 Introduction
This section provides instructions on setting up an installed
FreeSpace 4400 system. To set up a FreeSpace 4400 system you
need a PC running the FreeSpace
® 4400 Installer™ software.
6.2 Connecting your PC to a
FreeSpace 4400 system
Before you can set up the FreeSpace 4400 system, your PC must
first be physically connected to the FreeSpace 4400 system with
a serial cable and then that connection must be activated using
the FreeSpace 4400 Installer™ software.
1. Connect the RS-232 serial port of your PC to the RS-232
serial port on the rear panel of the FreeSpace 4400 system
using a straight serial data cable.
Programmer’s Note: If your computer does not have
an RS-232 port you will need to use an RS-232 to USB
adapter.
2. Set the FreeSpace 4400 rear panel POWER switch to ON.
When the FreeSpace 4400 system is powered up and ready,
the SYSTEM STATUS indicator is dark (unlit) and the
STANDBY indicator is amber.
3. Press the STANDBY push button to switch the FreeSpace
4400 system to the operating mode. The STANDBY indicator
will turn off and the SYSTEM STATUS indicator will be green.
(If a system fault condition exists, the indicator will be red.)
Programmer’s Note: If the FreeSpace 4400 system
experiences a brownout or power loss, the FreeSpace
4400 system will return to power in the STANDBY
mode. To return to operation, press the STANDBY but-
ton, or press any key on any user Interface.
4. Launch the FreeSpace 4400 Installer™ software. See
“Launch the FreeSpace 4400 Installer™ software.” on
page 25 for the software launching sequence.
