48 Configuring the XM EODS
• Connect the computer to the XM-220 module. Connection to the
XM-220 module is through the module’s serial interface using either the
three-wire connections on the XM-220 terminal base or the
mini-connector on top of the module (see Figure 3.1).
Figure 3.1 XM Cable Connection
A special cable (Cat. No. 1440-SCDB9FXM2) is required for the
mini-connector connection. The connector that inserts into the PC is a
DB-9 female connector, and the connector that inserts into the module
is a USB Mini-B male connector.
• Start the XM Serial Configuration Utility program. The Serial
Configuration Utility uploads the current configuration from the
XM-220 module, and displays the parameters in the Configuration Tool
for the connected XM-220 module. Review and modify any
configuration parameters as needed. Refer to Using the XM Serial
Configuration Utility on page 49.
Repeat this process for all three XM-220 modules. All three XM-220 modules
must be configured in order for the XM EODS to function properly.

WARNING
If you connect or disconnect the serial cable with power
applied to the module or the serial device on the other end
of the cable, an electrical arc can occur. This could cause an
explosion in hazardous location installations. Be sure that
power is removed or the area is nonhazardous before
proceeding.
TIP
Refer to Chapter 2 in the XM-220 Dual Speed Module
User Guide for more information on the terminal base
connection.
