Echelon FT 5000 EVB - Manual (Page 6)

vi Preface
• Quick Start Guide. The FT 5000 EVB hardware is shipped with either a NodeBuilder FX or Mini
FX Quick Start Guide. This document describes how to install the software included with your FT
5000 EVB; connect the FT 5000 EVBs and your development computer to a L
ON W ORKS FT-10
channel; and create a simple L ON W ORKS network using the Neuron C example application
pre-loaded on the FT 5000 EVB.
• Power supplies (90–240VAC 50/60Hz) with power cords (US/Japan and Continental European).
• U10 USB Network Interface and USB Extension Cable. The U10 USB Network Interface lets
you directly connect the development tool running on your computer to your FT 5000 EVB over a
TP/FT-10 Free Topology Twisted Pair (ISO/IEC 14908-2) L
ON W ORKS channel.
• Network cable and terminator. The network cable lets you interconnect your FT 5000 EVBs, and
it lets you connect the boards to other devices and to the U10 USB Network Interface over a
L
ON W ORKS FT-10 channel.
• FT 5000 sample chips with FT-X3 transformers (not included in NodeBuilder FX/FT
Development Tool Classroom Edition).
• License Return Envelope
