Installing the Mounting Kits
Wall and cabinet mounts
The two metal brackets included with the MAR-2000 can be used to
attach it to a wall or the inside of a cabinet. Using two screws per
bracket, first attach the brackets to the bottom of the MAR-2000.
Next, use two screws (M3 type, torque 4.5±0.5 kgf-cm) per
bracket to attach the MAR-2000 to a wall or cabinet.
DIN rail assemblies
An aluminum DIN rail mounting assembly is included in the
package. When attaching the rail assembly to the MAR-2000,
orient the stiff metal spring towards the top.
STEP 1:
Insert the
top of the DIN rail
into the slot just
below the stiff metal
spring.
STEP 2:
The
mounting
assembly should
then snap into
place, as shown.
To remove the MAR-2000 from the DIN rail, reverse steps 1 and 2
above.
Connector Description
Power Connector
Connect the 24 VDC power line to the MAR-2000’s power input
with the M12 connector. When the MAR-2000 system is ready, the
READY LED will display a steady green color.
Grounding the MAR-2000
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.
There are two ground
connectors on the front
panel of the
MAR-2000.
One is located at the
middle pin of the power
input, the other is beside
the power input. Use either
connector for grounding.
SIM Card
The MAR-2001-T supports 2
c
ellular modules, and the
MAR
-2002-T supports 3
c
ellular modules.
Unscrew the
SIM card cover and insert the
SIM card in the

antenna mounts:
MAR-2001-T
MAR-2002-T
DI, DO
The MAR-2000 has 4 digital output channels and 4 digital input
channels. The MAR-2000 Hardware User’s Manual has detailed
pinout and wiring diagrams.
Reset Button
Press and hold the Reset button continuously for at least 5
seconds to reload the factory default configuration. After the
factory default configuration has been loaded, the system will
reboot automatically. The Ready LED maintains a steady glow once
the system has rebooted.
CompactFlash
The MAR-2000 has a single CompactFlash type I/II slot for
memory expansion. The CF card can be accessed by unscrewing
the panel located on the bottom of the MAR-2000.
The mount point for the CompactFlash filesystem is /dev/sda.
WARNING
Be sure to power off the computer before inserting or
removing the CompactFlash card.
Console Port
The RS-232 console port is a 4-pin header connector located on the
underside of the motherboard above the CF card socket. As above,
use a screwdriver to remove the panel protecting the CF card to
access the 4-pin RS-232 connector. This serial port is used to
access the console terminal, and is useful for viewing boot
messages, file system logs, and error messages. Use the
CBL-4PINDB9F-100 cable included with the MAR-2000 to connect
a PC to the MAR-2000’s serial console port.
USB
The MAR-2000 computer features 2 USB 2.0 ports for external
storage expansion.
Powering on the MAR-2000
To power on the MAR-2000, connect the power cable to the M12
connector and then connect the power adapter.
ATTENTION
T
he shielded ground
should be connected to the center
pin of the power input connector.
Note that it takes approximately five minutes for the system to get
ready. Once the system is ready, the Ready LED will light up.
Connecting to the MAR-2000
There are three ways to connect the MAR-2000 to a PC: through
the MAR-2000 management web page, the serial console port, or
by SSH 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. T
o connect
a PC to
the serial console, use the CBL-4PINDB9F-100
cable that shipped with your MAR-2000.
To use SSH and the MAR-2000 management web page, you will
need to know the MAR-2000’s IP address and netmask. The default
LAN settings are shown below. For initial configuration, you may
find it convenient to use a crossover Ethernet cable to connect
directly from the PC to the MAR-2000.
