5 1 Overview The 3000-OEM Startup Guide provides the steps for connecting, configuring, and testing the 3000-OEM video processing board on the 3000-IO interface board. The IO board provides the standard connections for power and communication with the 3000-OEM processing board. Boards with SLE options enabled use the same startup procedure. Software references are for version 2.23.x. 1.1 Associated Documents EAN-Network Configuration: Describes how to assign a static IP address to the board, set telemetry destinations and ports, and provide configuration information for both the 3000-OEM and the OEM video processing boards. ICD-3000-OEM: Describes power requirements, thermal management, interface specifications, and connector pin-outs for the 3000-OEM, and the 3000-IO with associated camera interface boards. EAN-Managing the Parameter File: Outlines the differences between dynamic and non-dynamic parameter file settings and how to correctly save them to the board. 2 Network Configuration The 3000-OEM board can be connected directly to the host PC or through a network switch hub. Both connections require assigning a static IP address to the host PC. Note: 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. Once the 3000-OEM is connected, it defaults to its pre-defined IP address of OEM + Interface IO Board Default IP assigned to the 3000-OEM: Network Switch Hub or PC Direct Figure 1: Network Configuration Options Host PC User assigned static IP: IMPORTANT: - If a wireless adapter is active/present on the host PC it should be disabled. - The default IP address of the 3000-OEM (when no DHCP server is available) is the local-link address of Assign a static IP address to the host PC of X.X, where X is (do not use 181). Use a subnet mask of If the host PC is restarted with no connected network, it will default to this same local-link network and subnet mask (unless the host PC has already been assigned a static address). SightLine Applications, Inc. 1

6 3 Serial Communications If a network connection cannot be established, you can optionally use the 9-pin serial connection (coupled with the 5-pin power connector). See the Troubleshooting section for further information on using this method to connect to the 3000-OEM board. 4 Evaluation Kit This 3000-OEM Startup Guide refers to parts contained in the EVAL kit items listed in Table 1.
