Switch 7-Option

When OFF, the controller will use the auto-negotiate function to set the Ethernet connection speed.
When the DIP switch is ON, the controller defaults to 10BaseT.

Switch 8-Ethernet

When ON, the controller will use the Ethernet port as the default port for unsolicited messages. When
OFF, the controller will use the RS-232 port as the default. When the firmware is updated, the
controller will send the response (a colon) to the default port setting. If this is not the same port that
was used to download the firmware, the Galil software will not return control to the user. In this case,
the software will have to be re-started.

Step 4. Install the Communications Software

After applying power to the computer, you should install the Galil software that enables
communication between the controller and PC.

Using Windows 98SE, NT, ME, 2000 or XP:

The Galil Software CD-ROM will automatically begin the installation procedure when the CD-ROM is
installed. To install the basic communications software, run the Galil Software CD-ROM and choose
DMC Smart Term. This will install the Galil Smart Terminal, which can be used for communication.

Step 5. Connect AC Power to the Controller

Before applying power, connect the 100-pin cable between the DMC-2x00 and ICM-2900 interconnect
module. The DMC-2x00 requires a single AC supply voltage, single phase, 50 Hz or 60 Hz. from 90
volts to 260 volts.
