Key components of the TCP/IP Interface module

1. Open the left door of the console (see Figure 2). Verify that the battery backup switch is in the On position, then turn Off power to the console. (To turn off the power, it will be through the breaker for the Veeder Rooter/TLS. The Veeder Root has to be off before installing the module/card.)

2. Remove the knockout blank from the left bottom of the console. Slide in the configured TCP/IP Interface Module until the

motherboard connector is snugly seated and the left edge of the module’s bracket is in the notch cutout on the

left side of the console. Attach securing screw from the kit (see Figure 3). Leave the console door open.

1. Open the left door of the console. Verify that the battery backup switch (SW1) is in the ‘On’ position (see Figure 4), then turn off the power to the console. (To turn off the power, it will be through the breaker for the Veeder Rooter/TLS. The Veeder Root has to be off before installing the module/card.)

The TCP/IP module can be installed in any empty slot of the com bay card cage, but the module’s default settings require that it be installed in slots 1 - 3.

If your console has a snap connector that secures the cover plate in the card cage, pull it out and lift out the cover plate. If your console has “knockout” cover plates, open the printer door and insert a flat blade screwdriver in the slot provided in the front of the cover plate you are removing and twist it to break the front set of

metal securing tabs (ref item 2 in Figure 5). Once the front tabs are broken, carefully move the loosened end of the plate up and down until the rear set of securing tabs breaks. Remove and discard the cover plate. Slide the module into the open slot until the motherboard connector is snugly seated. Do not apply excessive force

when installing the module. With your thumb, push in the black retaining fastener on the end plate until it snaps into the hole in the card cage.

If slots 1 - 3 are in use, or if you want to free up slots 1 - 3 for other modules, the TCP/IP module can be installed in slot 4. To use slot 4, you must move jumpers J2 and J3 on the module onto the 2 top pins, and connect the cable from the kit (P/N 330584-001) to connector J1 on the TCP/IP module and to connector J6 on the console’s ECPU board (see Figure 6). Note: if the TCP/IP module is installed in slot 4, the displayed

slot number (X) will be 5.

4. Verify that the RJ-45 plug in the module’s bracket is accessible through the slot opening at the bottom of the console.

5. When you are finished, make sure any unused slots in the com cage have a blank end plate installed. Leave the console door open.

1. Close and secure the console front door. Restore power to the console.

2. You will need to know what version of the software is installed in the console to properly set up the TCP/IP module. Press the front panel MODE key to access Diag Mode. Press FUNCTION key to access System Diagnostic:

Press the STEP key to view the software revision level:

Where YY equals the console’s installed software. For example, if the version is 123.02, the software version is 23.

3. Press the front panel MODE key to access the Setup Mode. Press the FUNCTION key to access Communications Setup.

4. In Communications Setup, press STEP until you see Port Settings, then press ENTER to display the

message::

If necessary, press the TANK/SENSOR key until you see the message above, where X = the slot number in which you installed the TCP/IP Interface Module, and Type = S-SAT or RS-232. Note: for TLS-350/Pro- Max consoles only - if the TCP/IP module was installed in slot 4 of the Com Bay card cage, the displayed slot number (X) will be 5.

5. Depending on the displayed board type (S-SAT or RS-232) and the console’s installed software revision level, select the com board setup parameters shown in Table 1, Table 2, or Table 3 as applicable.

There are two ways you can connect a PC to the module:

• Over a network (LAN, WAN), or

• Directly

1. Connect the desktop or laptop to the TCP/IP Interface Module as shown in Figure 7. Insert the RJ-45 plug of

the network CAT 5 cable into the RJ-45 connector in the endplate of the TCP/IP module.

2. Locate the 2 LEDs on the top edge of the RJ-45 connector on the module’s endplate (see Figure 8).

Depending on network connection speed, the left or right LED on the top edge of the RJ-45 connector should remain ‘On’ when a proper connection is made (ref. Table 4).

After confirming a successful link between the PC and the TCP/IP module, proceed to either the IP Address/Configuration section using Telnet or using a browser as desired.

Connect the laptop to the TCP/IP Interface Module as shown in Figure 9. Insert the RJ-45 plug of the Ethernet crossover cable into the RJ-45 connector in the endplate of the TCP/IP Interface Module. Important! you must use an ethernet crossover cable.

Locate the 2 LEDs on the top edge of the RJ-45 connector on the module’s endplate (see Figure 8 on page 10).

Depending on the network card installed in the laptop, the left or right LEDs on the top edge of the RJ-45 connector should remain ‘On’ when a proper connection is made as shown in Table 4.

Before entering the TCP/IP Interface Module’s IP Address enter a static IP Address in your connected laptop. IP Address setup procedures for both Windows 98 and 2000 are discussed in this section. Windows ME or XP icon

or window labeling may be only slightly different. Please check those operating system’s manuals to verify their method of locating the Local Area Connection status/properties dialog boxes and changing IP Addresses.

1. Connect your laptop to the TCP/IP card as shown in Figure 9 above. Go to your laptop’s Control Panel folder and double-click the ‘Network’ icon to display the Network screen (Figure 10)

2. In the ‘The following network components are installed.’ window, highlight TCP/IP and then click the Properties button to display the TCP/IP Properties dialog box (Figure 11).

3. Click the Use the following IP Address radio button and enter an IP Address and Subnet mask for your laptop. You can use an IP address that is one digit off from the customer-supplied IP Address you will assign to the console’s TCP/IP Interface Module. For example, if the IP Address for the TCP/IP module is 10.2.1.51, you would enter 10.2.1.50 for the laptop’s IP Address. You also need to enter a Subnet mask. Use the same Subnet mask that is shown in Figure 11 above (255.255.255.0).

Note: Prior to reconnecting your laptop to a network, you will need to select the Obtain an IP address automatically radio button as shown in Figure 11 above.

4. You are now ready to enter the TCP/IP Interface Module’s IP Address.

5. Proceed to the IP Address/Configuration section using Telnet or using a browser as desired. Setting Your Laptop’s IP Address for Direct Connect ( Windows 2000)

1. Connect your laptop to the TCP/IP module as shown in Figure 9 on page 11 above. Go to your laptop’s Control Panel folder and double-click the ‘Network and Dial-up Connections icon.

2. Select Local Area Connection and the status screen displays (Figure 12).

3. Click the Properties button and the Local Area Connection Properties screen displays (Figure 13).

4. In the ‘connections or components used check list’ window, highlight Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click the Properties button to display the Internet Protocol TCP/IP Properties dialog box (Figure 14).

5. Click the Use the following IP Address radio button and enter an IP Address and Subnet mask for your laptop. You can use an IP address that is one digit off from the customer-supplied IP Address you will assign

to the console’s TCP/IP Interface Module. For example, if the IP Address for the TCP/IP module is 10.2.1.51, you would enter 10.2.1.50 for the laptop’s IP Address. You also need to enter a Subnet mask. Use the same Subnet mask that is in the example in Figure 14 above (255.255.255.0). Click OK to accept your entries.

Note: Prior to reconnecting your laptop to a network, you will need to select the Obtain an IP address automatically radio button shown in Figure 14 above.

6. Proceed to the IP Address/Configuration section using Telnet or using a browser as desired.
