3 General Information
3.1 Licence
All ELISE2 units must have a valid software licence.
The licence can be found on the administration web page, under the section System
Setup > Common > Licence.
IMPORTANT: Changing this field may seriously affect the functionality.
If no valid licence is present, the unit will not start and the Function Indicator (see figure 4)
will indicate licence error with a slow flashing red light. The unit can be started in
unlicensed mode, see Unlicensed Mode on page 5 and 3.4 Selection of Operating Mode
on page 5 for more information. Unlicensed mode is indicated by the Function Indicator
with an orange light (3000 ms ON/100 ms OFF), see also 3.5 Function Indicator on page 6.
3.2 Power Down and Restart of ELISE2
Power Down
1 Remove the cover from the ELISE2 module.
2 Press the push button SW4 to perform a shut down of the processor.
3 Wait until the Function Indicator is flashing orange.
4 Remove the power cable. The power must be removed within 10 minutes or ELISE2
will restart. If ELISE2 restarts, wait until the Function Indicator is not indicating
starting up (flashing orange) before pressing SW4 again.
Restart
There are two ways to restart an ELISE2; following the instruction above and then
replacing the power cable or initiate a restart from the administration web page.
3.3 Operating Modes
There are five different operating modes; normal, network setup, fail-safe, image
installation and unlicensed.
Network Setup Mode
To be able to contact the ELISE2, a valid and unique IP address is necessary. In this mode,
the IP address is set to 192.5.36.229, which is reserved for installation of ELISE2. Network
Setup Mode should only be used when ELISE2 has not got any IP address or when the IP
address has to be changed, i.e. if ELISE2 has been moved from one network to another.
Fail-safe Mode
This mode can be used when it is impossible to contact the ELISE2. When started in Fail-
safe Mode, no applications are started. It is possible to return to factory settings or a
backup copy of parameters from the web page xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is
the IP address given to the ELISE2). If there is a problem accessing this page, it is possible
to access xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/system, where it is possible to change network parameters or
install new software.

Image Installation Mode
The Compact Flash includes the ELISE2 operating system and application software. If all
information (operating system and application software) needs to be updated, then the
complete Compact Flash image must to be replaced. The ELISE2 is normally set in image
installation mode from the administration pages but it can also be set by the operating
mode switch. See 5.3 Replacing an Image on the Compact Flash on page 26 or 5.4
Installing an Image on an empty Compact Flash on page 26.
If the Compact Flash needs to be partly updated with new application software, the image
installation mode should not be used. For more information, see 5.2 Updating Application
Software on page 25.
Unlicensed Mode
It is possible to run the ELISE2, with limited functionality, without a licence. How the mode
functions is application dependent. For more exact information about the functionality
during unlicensed mode, see the application documentation.
In unlicensed mode, it is possible to enter a licence that does not match the current
hardware. This makes it possible to configure a Compact Flash on one hardware and move
the Compact Flash to another hardware without changing the licence.
3.4 Selection of Operating Mode
All 8 sections of SW3 are set to OFF for normal operating mode.
Figure 3. Switch for selection of operating mode.

Authentication
There are two different users in all ELISE2 products; admin and sysadmin.
The user admin has the default password "changeme" and is used for administration and
simple troubleshooting of the product. The admin has permission to change all passwords
except the sysadmin password.
The user sysadmin has the default password "setmeup" and is used for advanced
troubleshooting. The user also has access to all administration pages. The sysadmin has
permission to change passwords for all users in the product.
In addition, there are two other users in some ELISE2 products. One is called user and the
default password is "password". This user is product dependent and what it is used for is
described in corresponding product documentation. This user does not have access to the
administration pages where passwords normally are changed. The user can change its
own password on the following page;
http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin/public/user_chpass.shtml. The password can also be changed
by the users admin and sysadmin.
The other user is called ftpuser and the default password is "changemetoo". The user is
available in products with a FTP area. The user can change its own password on the
following page; http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin/public/ftpuser_chpass.shtml.
Administration
To access the web pages below, the user admin is used.
The web page "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/admin" is used in most occasions, for example:
• System setup, i.e. System 900 configuration
• Troubleshooting information
• Changing passwords
On the following occasions, the web page "xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/system" must be used.
• Current software installation has to be replaced.
• No software is installed on ELISE2.
• Compact Flash image update or installation
The system page can also be used when configuring network parameters.
4 Installation
ELISE2 should be placed in a dry environment with a temperature range of 0 to +40°C.
The ELISE2 module can be connected via system bus cabling, or via twisted-pairs together
with other units in the System 900. The ELISE2 modules can communicate with each other
via the TCP/IP network.
IMPORTANT: The ELISE2 module must be mounted in a vertical position to ensure
sufficient cooling for the electrical components.
IMPORTANT: Always follow the instructions in 3.2 Power Down and Restart of ELISE2 on
page 4 when disconnecting the power to the ELISE2 module.

4.3 Selection of A or B-bus
When modular bus cabling is used for connection of the System 900 bus the A-bus is used
default. To use the B-bus, remove the 0 ohm resistors R111 and R112 from the circuit
board and solder jumper points S1 and S2 (R111 and R112 are situated on the bottom
side of the circuit board). See figure 6 on page 11.
Figure 6. Jumper points for adjusting the ELISE2 unit to use the System 900 B-bus
instead of the A-bus.
4.4 ELISE2 controlling the Communication on the A/B-bus
Depending on the software application on the ELISE2, it can be used to control the
communication on the A-bus, i.e. the Central Unit is not used for communication control.
This can be useful when System 900 is not used for messaging but only to communicate
with, for example, an Alarm Module or Output Module.
The same information that can be received when the ELISE2 is connected to an A-bus with
Central Unit, can also be received when it is controlling the communication. Examples of
information is input activity and pagings from the Alarm Modules (see respective software
application documentation for more information about the possibilities). Alarms and
Mobile data from handsets can be transferred from the ELISE2 to modules connected to
the A-bus. The ELISE2 does not have any other of the Central Unit functionality, for
example the possibility to address Pocket Units over the A-bus or handle absence
information received from Charging Racks.

4.10 Additional Connections
Error Relay Output
A relay output on connector J14 is used to indicate ELISE2 module malfunction and can
also be used to indicate other errors. See application documentation for more information
about functionality.
Figure 12. Jumpering that decides when the error relay output is active, either
when the relay operates or is released.
The jumpering J15 decides if the output shall be active when the relay is operating or
released. 1-2 selects operating and 2-3 selects released. In figure 12, the relay is released
and as the jumpering is set to 1-2 the circuit is open and the error relay output is inactive.
At power-up or restart of the ELISE2, the relay is released until the applications are
working properly. If the relay is released longer, ELISE2 is malfunctioning.
RS232 Communication with External Unit
The ELISE2 has three identical RS232 connectors; J7, J8 and J11. Depending on software
application the RS232 ports can be used or not. How to connect external equipment to
the ELISE2 is described in the documentation of the software application.
In figure 13, the RS232 connectors on the ELISE2 is described.

The application of the inputs and outputs are software dependent.
Two digital inputs and two digital outputs can be connected via J16. The outputs are of
open-collector type and the output signals are dimensioned for 100 mA at max 12 V.
A pull-up resistor should be connected to the output as shown in figure 16.
Galvanic isolation of the inputs and outputs is provided by using a separate power supply.
When galvanic isolation is not needed, supply voltage can be taken from the ELISE2 circuit
board by connecting J16-1 to J5-3 and J16-6 to J5-4.
