Newton Rack Mount Control Panel Installation
Installation of the Newton 1 RU rack mount control panel is a process of:
• Rack mounting the panel,
• Making two simple rear connections: LAN and AC power, and
• Installing NetConfig software and Newton Panel Configurator.
Rack Mounting
The Newton rack mount panel is 1 RU high and designed to fit in a stan-
dard 19 inch equipment rack with customer-supplied rack mounting
screws.
Rear Connections
There are two rear connections to the Newton rack mount panel:
• IEC AC Mains – auto-sensing 90-260 VAC input, and
• LAN – a standard RJ-45 Ethernet connection.
Installing Newton Rack Mount Control Panel Software
The NewtonRM (1 RU Rack Mount panel) comes with a CD-ROM with the
Newton rack mount panel software along with the NetConfig networking
application and the Newton Panel Configurator necessary for configuring
panels.
Install the NewtonRM Control Panel software and additional components
on a networked PC in the same manner as the NewtonPC, following the
prompts given in the installation process. The installation process is the
same. Refer to
Installing NewtonPC Control Panel Application on page 25 for
step-by-step instructions.
This installation will load the NetConfig application with the Newton
Panel Configurator and will place a NewtonRM folder in the destination
directory.
This NewtonRM folder contains a newton_APP.bin file that can be down-
loaded to a rack mount control panel for any necessary updates using Net-
Config. This is only necessary when you have received updated software
on a CD or from the web site. The Newton rack mount control panel ships
from the factory with the latest software release. If you are installing a new
panel direct from the factory, there is no need to update the panel software,
unless you have been advised to do so.
