5. Connector Description
Power Connector
Connect the 12-48 VDC power line to UC-7410/7420’s terminal block. If the
power is properly supplied, the Ready LED will show a solid green color
when the OS is ready.
Grounding UC-7410/7420
Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to
electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the
ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.
ATTENTION
This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface
such as a metal panel.
SG
SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected
Ground) contact is the left most contact of the 3-pin
power terminal block connector when viewed from the
angle shown here. Connect the SG wire to an
appropriate grounded metal surface.
Ethernet Port
The two 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports (LAN 1 and LAN 2) use RJ45
connectors.

PCMCIA
The PCMCIA slot supports the CardBus (Card-32) Card standard and 16-bit
(PCMCIA 2.1/JEIDA 4.2) Card standard. It supports +3.3V, +5V, and +12V
at a working voltage of 120 mA. Wireless LAN card expansion is optional.
The Wireless LAN card provided by Moxa lets you connect UC-7410/7420 to
a Wireless LAN, with both 802.11b and 802.11g interfaces supported.
CompactFlash
UC-7420 provides one CompactFlash slot that supports CompactFlash type
I/II card expansion. Currently, Moxa provides a CompactFlash disk for plug
& play expansion. You may also use flash disks available from most
computer supply outlets. The CompactFlash will be mounted at
/mnt/hda

Console Port
The console port is an RJ45 RS-232 port. It can be connected to a V90 or
GPRS modem via PPP. The pin definitions are the same as for the eight serial
ports (P1 to P8).
Reset to Default Button
Press the “Reset to Default” button continuously for at least 5 seconds to load
the factory default configuration. After the factory default configuration has
been loaded, the system will reboot automatically. The Ready LED will blink
on and off for the first 5 seconds, and then maintain a steady glow once the
system has rebooted.
Reset Button
Press the “Reset” button to activate the hardware reset function. You should
only use this function if the software does not function properly. To reset a
Linux system, you should reboot the operating system to avoid deleting
important data.
LCM & Keypad
UC-7410/7420 Series has an LCM screen and five input buttons on the top
panel. Refer to the Moxa Device API for programming information.
The LCM can display 16 columns and 8 rows of text with ASCII code
starting from 0x20 to 0x7F. The function of the five keypad buttons can be
defined by your application.
USB
The USB 2.0 Host port now supports a USB storage device driver. The
USB 1.1 Client port is reserved for future enhancement.
Real Time Clock
UC-7410/7420’s real time clock is powered by a lithium battery. We strongly
recommend that you do not replace the lithium battery without help from a
qualified Moxa support engineer. If you need to change the battery, contact
the Moxa RMA service team.
ATTENTION
There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
6. Powering on UC-7410/7420
To power on UC-7410/7420, connect the “terminal block to power jack
converter” to the UC-7410/7420's DC terminal block (located on the left back
panel), and then connect the power adaptor. Note that the Shielded Ground
wire should be connected to the right most pin of the terminal block. It takes
about 30 seconds for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the
Ready LED will light up, and UC-7410/7420’s network settings will appear
on the LCM display.
7. Connecting UC-7410/7420 to a PC
There are two ways to connect UC-7410/7420 to a PC, through the serial
console port or by Telnet over the network. The COM settings for the serial
console port are: Baud rate=115200 bps, Parity=None, Data bits=8, Stop
bits =1, Flow Control=None.
ATTENTION
Remember to choose the “VT100” terminal type. Use the CBL-RJ45F9-150
cable included with the product to connect a PC to UC-7410/7420’s serial
console port.
To use Telnet you will need to know UC-7410/7420’s IP address and
netmask. The default LAN settings are shown below. For first-time
configuration, you may find it convenient to use a cross-over Ethernet cable
to connect directly from the PC to the UC-7410/7420.
Default IP Address Netmask
LAN 1 192.168.3.127 255.255.255.0
LAN 2 192.168.4.127 255.255.255.0
Once the UC-7410/7420 is powered on, the Ready LED will light up, and a
login page will open. Use the following default Login name and Password to
proceed.
Login: root
Password: root
8. Configuring the Ethernet Interface
If you use the console cable for first-time configuration of the Network
settings, use the following commands to edit the interfaces file:
#ifdown –a
//Disable LAN1/LAN2 interface first, before you
reconfigure the LAN settings. LAN 1 = ixp0, LAN 2= ixp1//
#vi /etc/network/interfaces
//check the LAN interface first//
After the boot setting of the LAN interface has been modified, use the
following commands to activate the LAN settings immediately:
#sync ; ifup –a
NOTE: Refer to the UC-7410/7420 User’s Manual for information on how to
configure the WLAN interface, and other configuration information..
9. Developing YourApplication
10. Installing the UC-7410/7420 Tool Chain
The PC must have the Linux Operating System pre-installed to install the
UC-7410/7420 GNU Tool Chain. Redhat 7.3/8.0, or Linux Kernel 2.4.18 and
compatible versions are recommended. The Tool Chain will use about 400
MB of your PC’s hard disk space. Use the following command to install the
Tool Chain from the UC-7410/7420 CD:
#mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
#rpm –ivh /mnt/cdrom/mxscaleb-3.3.2-6.i386.rpm
The Tool Chain will be installed on your PC automatically.
11. Compiling and Running Hello.c
The path to the Tool Chain is:
PATH=/usr/local/mxscaleb/bin:$PATH
The UC-7410/7420 CD also includes several example programs. Here we use
Hello.c as an example to show you how to compile and run your applications.
Type the following commands on your PC:
# cd /tmp/
# mkdir example
# cp –r /mnt/cdrom/example/* /tmp/example
Next, go to the Hello subdirectory and type the following command:
#make
to finish compiling Hello.c.
Finally, run the executable file that was created to generate hello-release and
hello-debug.
NOTE: Moxa also provides the Windows Tool Chain for UC-7410/7420. The
Windows Tool Chain simulates a Linux environment on a Windows operating
system, allowing you to develop programs for UC-7420/7410 on a Windows
platform. The UC-7410/7420 User’s Manual contains complete details on
how to install the Windows Tool Chain.
