INDIVIDUAL MODEM UNIQUE ADDRESS - IMPORTANT
Each modem has a unique address assigned by Veeder-Root. This number is on the label on
the modem itself, and on the box. This number is your traceability from the TLS console to the
office software. The TLS connected modem number will be entered into the office software in
the TLS modem location on the DataLink configuration page.

2. Screw the antenna into the modem and hand tighten.
3. Connect the serial connector to the modem and plug the cable into the connector.
4. Plug the power supply into a normal 110 volt outlet. The red light on the modem will be lit.
5. The modem can sit on or near the console. If the console will be located a long distance
from the office modem, the modem should be placed as high as possible. A high-gain
antenna (kit 0845900-033) may be needed for some applications.

TLS CONSOLE CONNECTION AND SETUP
For a TLS-300 console:
Use the Direct Connect location and connector shown:
For a TLS-350 Console:
For Serial communications, the console needs to have the RS-232 Serial Interface Module
(329362-001 in-console part or 847490-301 spare part) installed in the console.
Look on the bottom of the console for the 25-pin serial connector shown.
Look for this connector in
the bottom of the console

For a TLS4 Console:
Look on the bottom of the console for the 9-pin serial connectors shown.
For a TLS-450PLUS Console:
Look on the bottom of the console for an available 9-pin serial connector.
Look for these connectors in
the bottom of the console

Use the chart below to verify the configuration of the desired TLS-450PLUS serial connector:
NOTE: A RS-232 module is required for DataLink.
CONSOLE SET-UP
The unit will be set up by the installer for normal operation. The steps in this procedure are for
setting up the console for communication using the DataLink serial modem.
Security Code Enable/Disable
Security needs to be “Disable” for obtaining data via the DataLink modem. For TLS-3XX
Consoles place all DIP switches in the OPEN position as shown below:
