DA-661/662/663-CE
Quick Installation Guide
Third Edition, April 2009
1. Overview
The DA-661/662/663-CE are RISC-based, ready-to-run embedded
computers designed for industrial data acquisition applications. Each of
the three models has 16 RS-232/422/485 serial ports. In addition, the
DA-661 has two Ethernet ports, the DA-662 has 4 Ethernet ports, and
the DA-663 has 2 fiber Ethernet channels, all based on the Intel XScale
IXP425 communication processor. The casing is a standard 1U, 19-inch
wide rack-mounted rugged enclosure. The robust, rack-mountable
mechanism design provides the hardened protection needed for
industrial environment applications, and makes it easy for users to
install the DA-661/662/663 on a standard 19-inch rack. The
DA-661/662/663 are ideal for applications that require a distributed
embedded technology, such as SCADA systems, plant floor automation,
and power electricity monitoring applications.

4. Installing Your DA-661/662/663
Desktop Mounting
Place the DA-661/662/663 on a clean, flat, well-ventilated desktop. For
better ventilation, attach the 4 pads from the desktop kit to the bottom
of the unit, and leave some space between the DA-661/662/663 and
other equipment. Do not place equipment or objects on top of the unit,
as this can cause damage to the product.
Rack Mounting
The DA-661/662/663 can be mounted on a standard 19-inch rack. Use
the enclosed pair of L-shaped metal plates and screws to fasten the
DA-661/662/663 to the rack cabinet. You can lock either the front panel
or the rear panel of the DA-661/662/663 to the front side of the rack.
Each L-shaped plate has 6 holes, leaving two outer or inner holes open
for your convenience.
5. Connecting Your
Power Connector
Connect the 100-240 VAC power line to the DA-661/662/663’s power
connector. The Ready LED on the front panel will glow a steady green
when the OS is ready.
Ethernet Ports (DA-661/662)
The 10/100 Mbps Ethernet ports (2 LAN ports for DA-661, 4 LAN
ports for DA-662) use RJ45 connectors.

Console Ports
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
serial ports.
Reset Button
Press the “Reset” button on the front panel 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 for the first 5 seconds, and
then maintain a steady glow once the system has rebooted.
LCD Screen
The DA-661/662/663 have an LCD screen on the front panel. The LCD
screen displays 16 columns and 2 rows of text. On boot-up, the LCD
screen displays the model name and firmware version, as shown here:

Real-time Clock
The DA-661/662/663’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 Your DA-661/662/663
To power on the DA-661/662/663, connect the power line to the
DA-661/662/663’s AC/DC power connector (located on the right side
of the rear panel) with the power cord that is shipped with the product,
and then turn on the power switch. It takes about 30 seconds for the
system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the Ready LED on the
front panel will light up, and the DA-661/662/663 will display the
model name and firmware version on the LCD screen.
7. Connecting to the DA-661/662/663 from a PC
There are two ways to connect to the DA-661/662/663 from a PC:
through the serial console port or by Telnet over the network. The
COM settings for the serial console port are: Baudrate = 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 the
DA-661/662/663’s serial console port.
When using Telnet, you need to know the DA-661/662/663’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 DA-661/662. Please use a
Fiber-to-Ethernet converter to connect to the DA-663.
Default IPAddress Netmask
LAN 1 (FX1) 192.168.3.127 255.255.255.0
LAN 2 (FX2) 192.168.4.127 255.255.255.0
LAN 3 192.168.5.127 255.255.255.0
LAN 4 192.168.6.127 255.255.255.0
Once the DA-661/662/663 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 Network Settings
Normally, you are required to change the IP address of the
DA-661/662/663-CE because it is located in a different local network
from that of your development workstation. Use the netconfig utility to
complete the task. Before using this utility, type netconfig -h to see
how to use the command.
\> netconfig –h
Usage: netconfig –n <“LAN1” or “LAN2”> [-m <netmask>] [-d
<DNS server>] [-g <gateway>] [-i <IP address>]
For example, if your DA-661 has a LAN port at 192.168.1.5, and the
Domain Name Server (DNS) is at 192.168.2.6, execute the following
command to change the DA-661 network settings.
\> netconfig –n LAN1 –i 192.168.1.5 –m 255.255.255.0 –g
192.168.1.254 –d 192.168.2.6
Type netconfig to view the new settings.
\> netconfig
LAN1 Interface Configuration:
IP Address: 192.168.1.5
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
Gateway: 192.168.1.254
DNS: 192.168.2.6
LAN2 Interface Configuration:
IP Address: 192.168.4.127
SubNet Mask: 255.255.255.0
