1Overview
The 1500-OEM Startup Guide provides the steps for connecting, configuring, and testing the 1500-OEM
board on the 1500-AB accessory board. The AB provides the standard connections for communication
with the 1500-OEM board. Boards with SLE options enabled use the same startup procedure.
1.1 Additional Support Documentation
Additional Engineering Application Notes (EANs) can be found on the Documentation page of the
SightLine Applications website.
The Panel Plus User Guide provides a complete overview of settings and dialog windows located in the
Help menu of the Panel Plus application.
The Interface Command and Control (IDD) describes the native communications protocol used by the
SightLine Applications product line. The IDD is also available as a PDF download on the Documentation
page under Software Support Documentation.
1.2 SightLine Software Requirements
IMPORTANT: The Panel Plus software version should match the firmware version running on the
board. Firmware and Panel Plus software versions are available on the Software Download page.
2Network Configuration
The 1500-OEM board can be connected directly to the host PC or through a network switch. During
startup, the board sends three DHCP discover requests in three second intervals. It will self-assign the
link-local address of 169.254.1.180 if it does not receive a response.
Refer to EAN-Network Configuration for more network configuration information.
SightLine recommends assigning a static IP on the PC when a DHCP server is not present on the
network.
If you require additional assistance with assigning a static IP address to the host PC, contact your
network administrator or search online for procedures that corresponds with your current PC
operating system.

Configuration notes:
•If a wireless adapter is active on the host PC it should be disabled.
•If using the link local address, assign a static IP address to the host PC of 169.254.X.X, where X is 1-
254 (do not use 180). Use a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0.
•Problems with outbound streaming are often related to setting/assigning IP addresses and ports.
See the Encoding Configuration settings in EAN-Encoding for advanced settings.
3Serial Communications
For a direct serial connection use the 9-pin serial connection.
Connecting to the serial COM port on the 1500-AB board from a host PC requires a null modem
adapter or null modem serial cable (Figure 2).
Use a direct serial connection for troubleshooting or if a network connection cannot be established.

5Hardware Bench Setup
IMPORTANT: To prevent damage to the hardware boards, use a conductive wrist strap attached to
a good earth ground. Before picking up an ESD sensitive electronic component, discharge built up
static by touching a grounded bare metal surface or approved anti-static mat.
This section describes the connection for the 1500-OEM and the 1500-AB interface board to the
supporting components. The 1500-AB board is used as the serial and network interface board.
Cable connections:
IMPORTANT: See Power Connections in the next section before applying power.
•Attach the heat sink to the top of 1500-OEM board. The heatsink has peel-and-stick backing.
•SLA-CAB-2RCA: Connects to VIN0 on the 1500-AB board and to the analog camera.
•SLA-CAB-2RCA (optional analog monitor): Connects to VOUT on the 1500-AB board and to analog
monitor.
•SLA-CAB-ETH0: Connects to the Ethernet port on the 1500-AB board and to the network switch or
host PC. A green blinking light on the 1500-OEM board verifies network connection.
•SLA-PWR-B05V (110-250VAC input / 5VDC output): Connects to J2 on the SLA-1500-AB board.
The camera and monitor are not provided by SightLine Applications.

5.1 Power Connections
REV H and later 1500-AB boards have a single power switch. REV E and earlier boards have a dual
power switch. REV H and later boards are immediately powered on when power is connected. A green
light indicates the 1500-AB is powered on.
To prevent voltage spikes to the board, plug in the 1500-AB board power adapter (SLA-PWR-B05V) to
an AC power source first.
To power-on the 1500-OEM board For Rev H and later AB boards, place the switch in the position
shown in Figure 4.
To power-on the 1500-OEM board For Rev E and earlier AB boards, place both switches in the position
shown in Figure 5.
A blue light on the 1500-AB board and a green light on the 1500-OEM indicate that all the boards are
powered on.
