CONNECTING NEMO FSR1 SCANNER
Nemo FSR1 scanner is powered by 10 to 16 VDC. AC operation for the standalone receiver is
achieved by using the optional AC power supply. The AC power supply is designed to work with
100 - 240VAC 50/60Hz. For other voltages or line frequencies contact Anite for the correct
supply.
The standard AC supply is rated at 130 Watts. Actual power requirements will vary depending
number of downconverters installed and the receiver tasking. The maximum power requirement
of the scanner is 50 Watts.
DC operation for the standalone receiver can be achieved by connection to a vehicle 12-volt
system. The following table is provided to budget the system current requirements for various
configurations.
Platform configuration/Module 12 VDC current requirement
Basic system w/ single downconverter 3.0 A
Two downconverter system 3.6 A
The estimates given for the scanner assume maximum utilization of the processing capabilities.
∇Connecting the Nemo FSR1:
1. Connect an antenna cable to scanner RF input. If you are measuring with two
downconverters, connect an antenna in both RF inputs (see picture below).

Nemo FSR1 6
2. Connect Ethernet cable(s) to the scanner Ethernet port(s) and to the Nemo Outdoor laptop.
3. Go to Control Panel | Network and Internet | Network and Sharing Center. Click on
Change adapter settings.
4. Right-click on Local Area Connection and select Properties. In the Local Area Connection
Properties dialog, select Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4) and click Properties.

Nemo FSR1 7
5. Select Use the following IP address and type in an IP address that is different from that of
the scanner. The IP address should be 192.168.3.xxx where the xxx can be anything else
except 250, 251, 252, or 253 because those four IP addresses are reserved for the scanner.
Click OK and Close.
♦Please note that by default the Nemo FSR1 is delivered with a fixed IP address. The IP
address can be changed with a separate utility software. The following IP addresses are
used in Nemo Outdoor:
•"Nemo Scanner LAN" = 192.168.3.253
•"Nemo Scanner LAN 2" = 192.168.3.252
•"Nemo Scanner LAN 3" = 192.168.3.251
•"Nemo Scanner LAN 4" = 192.168.3.250

6. Connect the power cable to the scanner and to a power source. Switch power on.
7. The default address and name settings of the scanner are generally suitable for most users.
There is no need to configure these settings when using the Nemo FSR1 scanner with Nemo
Outdoor.
8. The status LEDs at the front panel display how the scanner is functioning.

Changing the Nemo FSR1 IP Address
The default address and name settings of the Nemo FSR1 are generally suitable for most
users. However, if you have two or more Nemo FSR1 scanners connected to the same
measurement laptop, you will need to assign a different IP address for each scanner. By
default, the Nemo FSR1 scanners are delivered with a fixed IP address: 192.168.3.253. When
changing the IP address, please use the following IP addresses supported in Nemo Outdoor:
•"Nemo Scanner LAN" = 192.168.3.253
•"Nemo Scanner LAN 2" = 192.168.3.252
•"Nemo Scanner LAN 3" = 192.168.3.251
•"Nemo Scanner LAN 4" = 192.168.3.250

Connect a PC to the Nemo FSR1 serial port using the serial adapter cable (available from
Anite). The scanner serial port is located in the lower-right corner of the front panel. Switch on
the scanner.
Figure 1. Nemo FSR1 serial adapter cable
♦If a serial port is not available on the computer, a USB-to-serial adapter can be used.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for driver installation and use of the adapter. If an
adapter is used, the COM port to choose for the Hyperterminal connection should be the
port assigned by Windows to the USB/serial adapter (see Device Manager, Ports).
Start a terminal port software, such as, HyperTerminal. Select COM1 or the port assigned to the
USB/serial adapter in the Connect using field and click Configure.

Nemo FSR1 10
In the COM1 Properties dialog, define the following settings:
Bits per second: 115200
Data bits: 8
Parity: None
Stop bits: 1
Flow control: Xon/Xoff
Click OK and OK. An empty HyperTerminal window is opened.
