2 Assembling the SmartServer Hardware

Assembly Overview

You need to assemble the SmartServer and connect it to a TCP/IP network before you can configure it

and begin using its embedded applications. This section lists the general steps required to assemble

and connect the SmartServer. These steps are then detailed in the referenced sections.

1. Mount the SmartServer inside a suitable enclosure. For more information on this step, see the

next section,

Mounting the SmartServer.

2. Connect the screw terminals on the SmartServer.

a. You must connect the power screw terminals for all SmartServer models as described in the

Power Supply section in this chapter.

b. If you are assembling an FT-10 model of the SmartServer, you must connect a L

ONWORKS

FT-10 channel to the LON A

/PLT + and LON B

/PLT - screw terminals on the hardware

(screw terminals 18 and 17). For more information, see

LONWORKS Network in this chapter.

If you are assembling the PL-20 model of the SmartServer with the external coupling option

(Model 72103R-420), you can connect twisted pair wiring between screw terminals 17 and 18

and a single-phase or three-phase external coupler. For more information, see

LONWORKS

Network in this chapter. All other PL-20 models of the SmartServer communicate through the

power supply and therefore do not require any additional connections.

c. Optionally, you can connect the screw terminals for the RS-232/RS-485 serial ports, digital

outputs, pulse meter inputs, digital inputs, and +12V <20mA output on the hardware as

described in the respective sections in this chapter for each of these connections.

3. Connect the Ethernet port on the SmartServer. Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the

Ethernet port on the SmartServer, and then connect the other end to an Ethernet hub or switch that

can communicate with your computer (TCP/IP network). The Ethernet port on the SmartServer is

auto-switching; therefore, you can use a straight-through or crossover Ethernet cable. For more

information on this step, see

Connecting the Ethernet Port in this chapter.

4. Optionally, you can connect the console port on the SmartServer. Connect one end of a RS-232

null modem cable to the console port on the SmartServer, and then connect the other end to one of

the COM ports on your computer. You can then use a terminal emulation program such as

Windows HyperTerminal on your computer to access the SmartServer’s console application and

configure the SmartServer. The default communication properties for the SmartServer are 9600-

8-None-1-None. Note that you should use the SmartServer’s built-in Web pages to configure the

SmartServer whenever possible. For more information on this step, see

Connecting the Console

Port in this chapter.

5. If you are assembling a SmartServer that has a built-in analog modem, connect the telephone port

on the SmartServer. For more information on this step, see

Connecting the Telephone Line Port in

this chapter.

6. Apply power to the SmartServer. For more information on this step, see

Applying Power to the

SmartServer in this chapter.

Connect your SmartServer to a TCP/IP network.

a. If your computer is not on the subnet as your SmartServer, open a command prompt and type

the following command (change “192.168.1.0” to the appropriate prefix for your subnet):

route add 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 %computername%

Note: If you are running Windows Vista™ on your computer, you need to open the command

prompt with administrator privileges. To do this, click Start, type cmd in the search box,

right-click the cmd.exe, and then select Run as Administrator. If you receive a “The

parameter is incorrect” error after entering the route command, replace %computername%

with the IP address of your computer.
