Installing the V2406-24I
The V2406-24I can be DIN-rail mounted, wall mounted, and VESA
mounted. Some mounting kits may need to be purchased
separately. Refer to the Hardware User’s Manual for detailed
installation instructions.
Connector Description
Power Connector
Connect the 9 to 36 VDC LPS or Class 2 power line to the
V2406-24I’s power connector. If the power is supplied properly,
the Power LED will light up. The OS is ready when the Ready LED
glows a solid green.
Grounding the V2406-24I
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: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called
Protected Ground) contact is the central pin of
the power input connector
.
Connect the SG wire
to an appropriate grounded metal surface.
VGA and DVI Outputs
The V2406-24I comes with a D-Sub 15-pin female connector for a
VGA monitor; it also comes with a DVI-I connector for the DVI
display. These output interfaces are all located on the front panel.
Use the proper cable to connect.
PS/2 Port
The V2406-24I embedded computer comes with a PS/2 mini-DIN
connector to connect to a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse. Use
the Y-type cable to convert the mini-DIN connector into two 6-pin
mini-DIN connectors to connect both a PS/2 keyboard and PS/2
mouse at the same time. You may also use the USB ports to
connect your USB-based keyboard and mouse. Please note that
without a Y-type cable, the PS/2 connector on the V2406-24I can
only work with a PS/2 keyboard. A PS/2 mouse will not function
when directly connected to the PS/2 connector on the V2406-24I
embedded computer.
CompactFlash Slot
The V2406-24I has a CompactFlash slot located on the front panel
for storage expansion. It supports CF Type-I/II with DMA mode.
To install a CompactFlash card, remove the outer cover, and then
insert the CF card in the socket. When finished, push the cover
into the socket and fasten the screws.
USB Hosts
The V2406-24I has one USB port with a M12 connector on the
front panel, and two USB ports with type A connectors on the rear
panel. These USB ports can be used to connect flash disks for
storing large amounts of data.

Reset Button
Press the “Reset Button” on the rear panel of the V2406-24I to
reboot the system 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.
Real-time Clock
The V2406-24I’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 of battery.
Powering on the V2406-24I
To power on the V2406-24I, connect the power cable to the
V2406-24I’s M12 power connector (located at the front panel).
Press the power button to turn on the computer. Note that the
Shielded Ground wire should be connected to the central pin of
the connector. It takes about 30 seconds for the system to boot
up. Once the system is ready, the Power LED will light up.
Configuring the Ethernet Interface
Linux users should follow these steps:
If you are using the console cable for first-time configuration of
the networksettings, enter the following commands to edit the
interfaces file:
#ifdown –a
//Disable LAN1/LAN2 interface first, before you
reconfigure the LAN settings. LAN 1 = eth0, LAN 2=
eth1,
#vi /etc/network/interfaces
//check the LAN interface first//
After the boot settings of the LAN interface have been modified,
use the following command to activate the LAN settings
immediately:
#sync; ifup –a
Windows users should follow these steps.
1. Go to [Start] [Network Connections].
2. Right-click Network Connections, click Properties, select
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP), and then click Properties.
3. Click OK after inputting the proper IP address and netmask.
NOTE: Refer to the User’s Manual for other configuration
information.
