Installation and Setup 9
4.4.2 Power-Input
To power the system, a voltage of 24 V DC (supports wide range power supply) must be
supplied to the power connector. The IPC 2010 power supply must meet the requirements for
SELV (safety extra-low voltage)/LPS (limited power source) or ES1/PS2 appropriately rated for
the ambient and altitude of the application. There are no buttons for power or resetting, as the
system will start automatically once power is applied. The Power LED (1) will light up green to
indicate that the system is now powered on.
The specific plug required is a Phoenix Contact with the part number 1748367, and users must
use the same connector type or an equivalent.
For pinout information, refer to Section 5.1.1, Power-In.
4.4.3 Serial Console
Optionally, to gain access to the system, utilize the serial console port (4) by connecting it to
the host PC’s RS232 interface using a null modem cable. Once connected, the host can
establish a connection by running a terminal emulator such as HyperTerminal or minicom. The
default serial port parameters are 115200, 8N1
The connector is RJ-45 style with pinout as defined in EIA/TIA-561, so that off-the-shelf
adapters to DB9 or USB can be used.
Once a serial connection is established, it can be used to determine an IP address that was
assigned by DHCP server, using command: ip addr
For pinout information, refer to Section 5.1.7, Serial Ports.
4.4.4 Secure Shell (SSH)
To establish a connection with the system, Ethernet can be used instead of the serial console.
The system has a SSH server running on port 22, and the default IP address settings are
described in the next section.
To connect to the system, use Putty on a Windows host or the default SSH tools on Linux.
The login credentials will vary depending on the pre-installed software (Ubuntu Linux or
PACEdge), so it is advised to refer to the sections below for specific details.
4.4.5 IP-Addresses
On preinstalled systems the first ethernet interface (Port 2) is configured to use the static IP-
Address: 192.168.3.100 and DHCP as well. Therefore (if the first ethernet interface is
connected to a DHCP server) two IP-Addresses are usable on this interface (IP-Address
provided by DHCP server and static IP-Address 192.168.3.100).
CAUTION
MULTIPLE DEVICES WITH THE SAME IP ADDRESS ON THE SAME NETWORK CAN LEAD TO
ADDRESS CONFLICTS WITH UNPREDICTABLE BEHAVIOR.
If you are using several IPC 2010 devices in the same network, it is strongly recommended
to change the static IP Address.
