Mount the Wall Cabinet,Wire the PIP
STEPS
Mounting the Wall Cabinet
Mounting hardware should be sufficient to hang a 25 pound (11.34 kg) load. Wall
space required to fully open the cabinet door is twice the width of the cabinet, or
26 inches.
The door opens from right to left as you face the cabinet. It is recommended that
the cabinet be mounted in a location where the door can be fully opened.
1. Mount the two keyholes near the top of the cabinet.
2. Drill the lower hole, using the cabinet as a template.
Wiring the Supplied PIP
The PIP must be powered with 100-240VAC, 50-60 Hz.
1. Attach the black (ground) wire to the negative pin (pin 4) on the PIP, and
the red, positive wire to the positive pin (pin 1) on the PIP.
2. Pull the wiring through a knockout in the cabinet.
3. Connect the black (ground) wire to the left side of the junction block, and
the positive (red) wire to the right side of the junction block.
2
Connect the PIP or a DC Power Source
STEPS
WARNING:
Observe static electricity precautions when handling and installing
system components, which can be damaged by static discharge.
Connecting the PIP (or a DC power source) to the system
Power must come from a separate circuit with an isolated earth ground. If DC
power is provided directly to the junction block, it must have 12VDC at a minimum
of 3 Amps.
1. Ensure the DC power source is off, then pull the wiring through a knockout
in the cabinet.
2. Connect the ground (black) wire to the left side of the junction block, and
connect the red wire to the right side of the junction block.
Important:
Do not apply power to the system until all connections have been made for
readers, inputs, outputs, and temperature sensors.

Make a Network Connection
STEPS
Before connecting the system to the corporate network, you must make a network
connection to a local PC or laptop, which you will use to set the controller’s IP
values.
1. Pull the Ethernet cable through a knockout in the eMerge cabinet.
Cable specification: CAT 5 or better with an RJ-45 connector wired straight
through connecting to a network hub, switch, or router.
2. Open the enclosure and locate the SAM-E module, which is attached to
the upper left side of the cabinet and is shown below.
3. Plug the RJ-45 connector into the available Ethernet port on the
SAM-E module.
4. Connect the other end of the Ethernet cable directly to a local laptop or PC
that is not connected to the network.
Important:
Do not connect the system to the corporate network until you have set the
controller IP values using this local connection.
5
Log Into the System
STEPS
1. Set the laptop or PC back to an IP address on the corporate network. All
further configuration work can be done through the corporate network.
2. Open a browser on the laptop or PC, point it to the IP address you set for
the controller, and press ENTER.
3. On the page that appears, the Activation Key and Product Key
boxes should contain the correct keys for your system.
If these keys are not entered into the system, you will need to enter them
manually. They are included on a license label that is shipped with the
system.
4. After reviewing the license agreement, click Apply to accept it.
Important:
Click Apply only once.
5. At the login page, enter the username admin and enter the password
admin.
6. Click Go.
7. To use the provided setup wizards, click the Setup button in the
navigation bar and click the link for the wizard you want to use.

Set the Controller’s IP Values
STEPS
1. Momentarily press the Power button, located on the outside left panel of
the eMerge cabinet.
The front panel LED will blink red, then turn solid red. You will hear one
beep when the system has started.
2. Make sure the local laptop or PC you will use for the configuration is
connected to the controller via an Ethernet switch, and that its IP address
has been changed to a static value of 192.168.0.X (where X is a number
between 2 and 254, but not including 249, 250, or 251).
3. Open a browser window on the laptop or PC, and enter in the address field
the default IP address for the eMerge controller: 192.168.0.250.
4. Press ENTER.
5. If the Initmode page is not displayed, log into the system, select Setup :
Site Settings : Network Controller from the Main Menu, then
click the link in the Initmode Settings section.
6. Fill in the Network Settings section, using values obtained from the
network administrator.
Important:
If you change the IP address of the controller, record the new address,
because you will need it to log into the system later.
7. (optional) Enter values for any of the Time Settings options. You can
change Email Settings values later, if you decide to use email alerts.
8. In the Web Server Settings section, DO NOT change the default HTTP port
number (80) unless the network administrator provides a different
number.
9. In the Initmode Settings section, select No from the drop-down list, to
ensure that the Initmode page will not appear after each reboot.
10. Click Save.
The system displays a“restarting Web Server” message and the front
panel LED blinks red. It may take several minutes for the system to shut
down and restart. When it restarts, you will hear a single beep and see a
“Data saved” message.
11. Connect the system to the corporate network.If the system is functioning
properly, the amber LED on the Ethernet port will light.
