Installation steps

1. Ensure that the NION supplying power via the EIA-485 cable is switched off.
2. Plug the EIA-485 cable into one of the RJ-45 ports at the rear of the xControl LCD.
3. If the xControl LCD will be daisy-chained to another unit (or to a power injector), plug the second EIA-485 cable (leading to the next unit) into the other RJ-45 port at the rear of the xControl LCD.
4. Set the position of the EIA-485 termination switch to specify uni-directional or bi-directional control.

   Normally, an xControl LCD is used to control devices in an NWare project, but the unit also supports bi-directional control, where the NWare xControl LCD device can be used to control the physical xControl LCD device.

   Set up	Bi-directional control required	Switch position
   Single unit or unit at end of chain, one cable connected	Yes	Out
   	No	In
   Unit in middle of chain, two cables connected	Yes	Out
   	No	Out

   

5. Using a small Philips head screwdriver, carefully position the rotary Mode selector switch to select the right mode of operation, or to test the unit.

   Position	Mode
   1	PASHA protocol mode. This is the default mode. When the unit powers up, you will be prompted to log on. You must enter a valid user passcode before you can change settings using the front panel buttons. The default passcode is 677.
   2	Quick entry mode. Allows you to enable or disable user access to the unit using the on screen menus (and without removing it from the wall). Uses PASHA protocol. When the unit powers up, you will not be prompted to log on.
   C-F	Reserved for MediaMatrix Support.

6. Attach the xControl LCD to the NEMA wall box using the supplied screws.
