Configuring the Controller

Adept SmartController User’s Guide, Rev. E

43

NOTE: SW1 is configured by Adept to a default configuration listed in
row #5 of

Table 3-3

(OFF-OFF-OFF-OFF) to use the CompactFlash and

NVRAM settings. Adept recommends that the user maintain this default
SW1 configuration for normal SmartController operation. The default
NVRAM settings are auto boot, ethernet, and use default IP address. The use
of any settings other than those in

Table 3-3

will cause unpredictable

results.

NOTE: The default IP address for the controller is located on a label on the
bottom side of the controller chassis.

AdeptWindows PC Graphical User Interface

When using the AdeptWindows graphical user interface, DIP switch SW1 cannot be set to
the switch settings shown in row #2 of

Table 3-3

.

NOTE: Adept recommends using switches instead of hubs when making
Ethernet connections to the controller. When connecting to a switch, use a
straight-through cable that connects the “Transmit” and the “Receive”
pairs to the same pins on both ends of the cable. When connecting to a
server/PC directly, use a cross-over cable that swaps the placement of the
transmit and receive pairs on the opposite ends.

ASCII Terminal

When using an ASCII Terminal or terminal-emulation software as the user interface, DIP
switch SW1 must be set to the switch settings shown in row #2 of

Table 3-3

.

CAUTION:

Adept strongly recommends using shielded

Ethernet cables to connect the SmartController to an
Ethernet network. Use only switches (not hubs) that
provide shielded RJ-45 connectors. Adept cannot ensure
reliable operation of the Ethernet connection without
proper shielding of all the Ethernet connectors and cables.
