Important Safety Notice
Proper system design is required for reliable and safe operation of
distributed control systems incorporating any Control Solutions
product. It is extremely important for the user and system designer
to consider the effects of loss of power, loss of communications, and
failure of components in the design of any monitoring or control
application. This is especially important where the potential for
property damage, personal in ury, or loss of life may exist. By using
ANY Control Solutions, Inc., product, the user has agreed to assume
all risk and responsibility for proper system design as well as any
consequence for improper system design.

Connectors and Indicators
Follow these steps to make the initial connection to the Babel Buster MQ-73.
(a) Connect power. Apply 12 to 24VDC or 24VAC to the terminal marked “POWER”, and
common or ground the terminal marked “GND”.
(b) Connect a CAT5 cable between the RJ-45 jack on the gateway, and your network switch
or hub. You cannot connect directly to your PC unless you use a “crossover” cable.
(c) Apply power.
A blue LED inside the case should light indicating power is present.
If the link LED on the RJ45 jack is not on, check your Ethernet cable connections. Both link
and activity LEDs on the RJ45 jack will be on solid for a short time during boot-up. The
entire bootup process will take about 20 seconds, during which time you will not be able to
connect with a browser.
Ethernet link LED is the yellow LED integrated into the CAT5 connector. Ethernet activity
LED is the green LED integrated into the CAT5 connector.
Refer to Appendix A for additional detail pertaining to connections and indicators as well as
optional internal jumper settings.
Open Web User Interface
The default IP address as shipped is 10.0.0.101. Enter http://10.0.0.101 in your browser's
address window. Newer computers should be able to connect directly to that IP address.
Older computers (e.g. Windows XP) required that the PC be on the same subnet first, or
that you add a route to your network configuration.
Open your browser, and enter “http://10.0.0.101/” in the address window. You should see a
page with the “Babel Buster MQ-73” header shown. From this point, you will find help on
each page in the web site contained within the product.
