1. Z2500P ECCI QUICK START INSTALLATION GUIDE Purpose of this Document This document is designed to assist you in unpacking installing and verifying the operation of a CTI 2500P ECC1 module For comprehensive instructions on configuring and using the product see the CTI 2500P ECC1 Communications Coprocessor User Manual available on our CTI web site http www controltechnology com Introduction The 2500P ECC1 Ethernet Communications Coprocessor module extends the communications capabilities of CTI 2500 Series controllers offering increased connectivity and additional protocols By offloading the processing of communications protocols from the 2500 Series controller the 2500P ECC1 module minimizes the impact of network communications on controller performance while providing a robust set of communications protocols Installation Preparation CTI 2500 Series Controller Firmware To support communications with a 2500P ECC1 module your CTI 2500 Series controller may require a firmware update The installed firmware version may be determined by accessing the controller Product Information web page or by reading Status Words 260 and 261 Refer to the Firmware Revision History for the 2500P ECC1 on the CTI website http www controltechnology com support software_revision to determine whether new firmware is required for your CTI processor A firmware update file can be downloaded from the CTI web site http www controltechnology c2.

OOD Flashing Indicates that a valid configuration was not found HOST OFF Indicates that the ECC1 module is not connected to the Host Controller ACTIVE Indicates no communication protocols are running MSD Error Displaying an IP address and Err 140 indicating no configuration file was found Before you can transfer the configuration files via Ethernet the IP address of the PC containing the configuration program will likely need to be changed to be compatible with the IP address of the module shown in the MSD To be compatible the network portion of the IP address must be the same and the host portion of the IP address must be different For further information see Appendix B of the CTI 2500P ECC1 Ethernet Coprocessor User Manual When shipped from CTI the ECC1 module flash will contain no IP address When this condition exists the ECC1 module will automatically assign an address from the link local block of IP addresses 169 254 1 0 through 169 254 254 255 This block is also used by Microsoft windows when an address cannot be automatically obtained using DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol If an address in this range is displayed in the MSD and your PC or laptop is using DHCP to obtain an IP address you can use the following technique after the module is powered up 1 Power down the PC 2 Connect an Ethernet cable between the PC and the ECC1 module 3 Power up the PC After a period of time which could be several
