5.5 Wallboard Connections
Connections are made to the back panel of the wallboard. The Ethernet cable from the HUB is
connected to the RJ45 Ethernet plug directly. V24 and current-loop serial connections are
made to the plug-in connector.
2x16 wallboards in cascade are linked in current loop behind the first wallboard connected to
the Ethernet or V24. The distance between the first and last wallboards can not exceed 500m.
5.5.1 Ethernet Connections
Use the crossed Ethernet cable when the wallboard is connected to a PC directly.
To comply with EMC rules, the cable type must be FTP or STP.
5.5.2 V24 Connections
Pin 1 : SG
Pin 2 : TD
To comply with EMC rules, the cable must be shielded.
The shield must be connected to pin 1.

6. COMMISSIONING
6.1 Commissioning Procedure
1. Turn the power on.
2. If in IP mode, manage the IP settings.
6.2 Power On
When powered on, the wallboard is started. Before the normal operating mode, there is an
identification stage followed by a self-test. In the identification stage, the first line shows the
wallboard software version. In IP operating mode, the second line shows the wallboard IP
address.
The self-test activates every wallboard dot, line after line, in both basic colors: red and green.
This allows visually checking that every wallboard dot works properly.
6.3 IP Setting Management
IP setting management only applies if the wallboard is set up in IP mode (see configuration).
IP settings can be accessed from a PC. A Web browser can be used to connect to the
wallboard’s IP address. At power on, the wallboard’s IP address is displayed in the second
line.
6.3.1 First Commissioning
Follow the procedure below:
1. Remove all micro-switchs from the wallboard and turn it back on.
2. Connect the wallboard to the PC directly, using the crossed Ethernet cable as supplied.
3. Change the PC network settings to an IP address compatible with the wallboard’s IP
address, e.g. 10.0.0.1 if the wallboard is set to its default address 10.0.0.88.

6.3.2 Setting Change
To change the settings of a wallboard in operation, proceed as follows:
1. Make sure that micro-switch SW5 is Off (read-only).
2. Use a PC connected to the same network as the wallboard.
3. Using a Web browser, connect to the wallboard’s IP address.
4. Change the settings. Entering new settings causes the wallboard to be reset a few seconds
after validation.
5. Switch on SW5 to prevent settings from being changed.

7. TROUBLESHOOTING
This section will be extended as issues are found and solutions provided. Please feel free to
give us your feedback.
Ethernet Connection: Can not communicate with the wallboard
Cause
Solution
The Web browser goes through a proxy server to connect to the Internet.
In the browser settings, remove the proxy server or specify that the proxy server
should not be used to connect to the wallboard’s IP address.
Cause
Solution
Error in the sub-network mask or gateway address.
Turn the wallboard off, install micro-switch SW4, turn the wallboard back on, and
remove micro-switch SW4. This allows resetting the wallboard to its default
parameters (IP Address: 10.0.0.88). Then, follow the first commissioning
instructions.
Micro-switch SW4 can be accessed through an opening in the wallboard’s back
panel, as shown below.
