C HAPTER GETTING STARTED CHAPTER 0 2.1. Installation The F3400/F1000 comes in a 19 inch (.48m) rack mount enclosure. Install the F3400/F1000 in the rack. Use the proper anchoring method to mount the unit securely. Supply the 24VDC to the unit. 2.2. Communication The F3400/F1000 will not communicate over a user’s network the first time it is connected to the network. The manufacturer programs the F3400/F1000 with a default IP address: 10.0.0.186, subnet: 255.255.255.0.
2 Getting Started 2.3.1 Set the F3400/F1000's IP Address using the ARP and PING Commands To set the IP address of a manufacturer programmed F3400/F1000, you can use the ARP (Address Resolution Protocol) command together with the PING (ICMP echo request) command. However, before using these commands, you must know the Ethernet address of the F3400/F1000. 2.3.1.1 Obtain the Ethernet Address Each network device must have its own unique identification.
2 Getting Started 2.3.1.4 Troubleshooting the ARP/PING Commands If problems are encountered, it may be for one of the following reasons: The F3400/F1000 already has a non-default TCP/IP address. Once the IP address of the F3400/F1000 has been changed from the default of 10.0.0.186, it is not possible to change it again with the ARP/PING commands.
2 Getting Started 2.3.3 Set the F3400/F1000’s IP Address Using an EIA232 Connection To use the EIA232 interface: 1 Connect the EIA232 port (P2 EIA232 - COM1) on the F3400/F1000 to a terminal or PC running terminal emulation software (HyperTerminal) with a 9-pin male-female straight through serial cable (a serial cable is supplied with the F3400/F1000). 2 2Set the appropriate communication port to 9600 baud, NO parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, (9600/N/8/1), and no software or hardware flow command.
2 Getting Started 2.4. F3400/F1000 Wiring RLE Technologies recommends an 18AWG stranded copper wire for connection from each monitored point to a terminal block (TB) connection on the F3400/F1000. RLE recommends no more than 500 feet (152.4m) of wire at this specification. If longer runs are needed, please contact RLE Technologies for application guidance. Shielded twisted pair wiring is recommended for analog signal transmitters being wired outside of conduit runs and dropped ceiling applications. 2.4.
2 Getting Started 2.4.2 EIA232 COM1 Connection The EIA232 port can be connected to a PC for local configuration, firmware downloads, and troubleshooting. It is typically a temporary connection. Connect the straight through, 9-pin, cable as shown in Figure 2.2. Figure 2.2 EIA232 COM1 Connection 2.4.3 RJ11 Phone Line Connection The F3400/F1000 (with modem option the model no. would be F3400-M/F1000-M) contains an internal modem for dial in and dial out capabilities.
2 Getting Started 2.4.4 RJ45 Ethernet Connection The F3400/F1000 has an internal 10BASE-T Ethernet port used to configure and monitor the F3400/F1000. The Ethernet port supports Web browser access, email (SMTP), BACnet, and SNMP. The following figures show the physical connections; refer to Chapter 4, “Configuration Menu” on page 35, for more detail on the Ethernet port. Figure 2.3 shows a direct connection between the F3400/F1000 and a PC using a crossover cable. Figure 2.
2 Getting Started 2.4.5 Relay K1 and K2 Connection Relay outputs may be used to unlatch doors, signal annunciators, signal IP cameras, and to turn on auxiliary equipment such as exhaust fans. Relay outputs are Form C (SPST). Refer to Appendix D, “Technical Specifications” on page 91 for relay contact ratings. Relays may be wired for Normally Open (NO), or Normally Closed (NC) signals. See Figure 2.5 for examples. Figure 2.5 F3400/F1000 Relay Output Wiring Examples www.rletech.com 26 970.484.

8 Upgrading Firmware and Managing Configuration Data 8.1.1 Upgrading F3400/F1000 Firmware via TFTP Client This is the preferred method. However, it does not work with a PPP connection. 1 Download the most recent version of firmware appropriate for your F3400/F1000 from the Documentation/Files section of the F-Series webpage at www.rletech.com. Save it to the hard drive of your computer. Do not change the name of the file. The name of the file, as downloaded from the RLE website, must remain the same.
8 Upgrading Firmware and Managing Configuration Data 8.1.2 Updating F3400/F1000 Firmware via the EIA232 COM1 Port (X-Modem) 1 Connect to the F3400/F1000 using HyperTerminal. For instruction on how to do so, see our support document “Connect HyperTerminal” available on the Documentation/Files section of the F-Series webpage at www.rletech.com.
8 Upgrading Firmware and Managing Configuration Data 8.2. Loading/Saving F3400/F1000 Configuration Data This menu allows user configurations to be saved and reloaded onto other F3400/F1000, or in the unlikely event the F3400/F1000 fails, a replacement F3400/F1000 can be quickly placed back in service after loading the saved configuration information. The configuration settings are saved to a binary file for backup purposes, which cannot currently be edited off line. 8.2.
8 Upgrading Firmware and Managing Configuration Data 8.2.3 Loading Configuration Data via TFTP Client Before the configuration can be loaded onto other F3400/F1000s, it must be checked for accuracy. Blank spaces or unwanted characters, such as the “Press to download the file” text, may be saved into the beginning of the configuration file. Open the file in Notepad and examine the first few lines. Delete any characters that were accidentally embedded into the file.
