Initial Setup
Connect PC to Controller
To configure the system, you must connect a PC to the controller.
PC Requirements
You need a Windows-based computer to program, maintain and
troubleshoot the 3300 ICP, and to install/upgrade the MCD software.
Computer Recommendations
Windows
®
NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows Vista
Business or Ultimate.
Computer Requirements
Windows 98, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or
Windows Vista.
Network interface card (NIC)
1 GB free disk space (minimum)
Internet Explorer 6.0, 7.0 or 8.0 with the latest Service Pack and
128-bit encryption. (IE 7.0 or 8.0 can be used with Rel 7.1 UR2 and
later.)
JRE (Java Run-time Environment) 1.6.0_1 or later installed
VT100™ emulator program
FTP Server (can be installed with Microsoft
®
IIS or PWS, for example)
AX, MXe, CX, CXi, CX II and CXi II Controller
1. Connect an RS-232 straight DTE male to female serial cable between
the controller’s Maintenance port and the PC’s serial port (cable not
provided).
2. Program the PC’s serial port (from the communication program) with
the following settings:
- Baud Rate: 9600 - Stop Bits: 1
- Data Bits: 8-Flow Control: None
- Parity: None
Tip:Windows 98 with PWS does NOT include an FTP server application
required for installations of 3300 ICP Software before Rel 8.0, and will not
work for the software installation/upgrade process unless a third-party server
application is used. If you are upgrading Rel 8.0+ software on a Rel 8.0 or
8.0+ system, you don’t need an external FTP server.
