To reboot the device, press the reset button less than 1 second. Press and hold the reset button between 7 to 9 seconds to reset the device to the factory default settings. When the reset button is held down, the User LED (the first signal LED on UC-2104) will blink twice every second. The User LED will become steady when you hold the button continuously for 7 to 9 seconds. Release the button within this period to load the factory default settings. 2-4 UC-2100-W Series Hardware Hardware Introduction ATTENTION Reset to Default preserves users data The Reset to Default function will NOT format the user directory and erase the users data. Using the Reset to default function will only load the configuration file. The rest of the users data stored in the Flash ROM will remain intact. Real Time Clock The UC-2100-Ws real time clock is powered by a non-chargeable battery. We strongly recommend that you do not replace the lithium battery without help from a qualified Moxa support engineer. If you need to change the battery, contact the Moxa RMA service team (rma@moxa.com). WARNING There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by an incorrect type. Placement Options There are two sliders on the back of the unit for DIN-rail and wall mounting. Wall or Cabinet Mounting Mounting UC-2100-W on to a wall requires 2 screws. The heads of the screws should be less than 7.0 mm in diameter, the shafts should be less than 3 mm in diameter, and the length of the screws should be more than 8 mm, as shown in the figure at the bottom. NOTE Before tightening the screws into the wall, make sure the screw head and shank size are suitable by inserting the screw into one of the keyhole-shaped apertures of the wall mounting plates. DIN-Rail Mounting (Optional) The UC-2100-W comes with an optional DIN-rail mounting kit for users to install the device onto a DIN rail. Install the DIN-rail mounting kit on the devices two mounting ears, then install the computer onto a DIN-rail rack. 2-5 UC-2100-W Series Hardware Hardware Introduction 2-6 3 Hardware Connection Description In this chapter, we describe how to connect the UC-2100-W to a network and various devices for first time testing purposes. The following topics are covered in this chapter:
Wiring Requirements Connecting the Power Grounding the Unit Connecting to the Console Port Connecting to the Network Connecting to a Serial Device Inserting the SIM Card Inserting a MicroSD Card (UC-2114/2116 Only) Installing the Cellular/Wi-Fi Module and Antenna (UC-2104 only) Adjusting the DIP Switch UC-2100-W Series Hardware Hardware Connection Description Wiring Requirements In this section, we describe how to connect various devices to the platform. You should heed the following common safety precautions before proceeding with the installation of any electronic device:
Use separate paths to route wiring for power and devices. If power wiring and device wiring paths must cross, make sure the wires are perpendicular at the intersection point. NOTE: Do not run signal or communication wiring and power wiring in the same wire conduit. To avoid interference, wires with different signal characteristics should be routed separately. You can use the type of signal transmitted through a wire to determine which wires should be kept separate. The rule of thumb is that wiring that shares similar electrical characteristics can be bundled together. Keep input wiring and output wiring separate. When necessary, it is strongly advised that you label wiring to all devices in the system. ATTENTION Safety First!
Be sure to disconnect the power cord before doing installations and/or wiring. Electrical Current Caution!
Calculate the maximum possible current in each power wire and common wire. Observe all electrical codes dictating the maximum current allowable for each wire size. If the current goes above the maximum ratings, the wiring could overheat, causing serious damage to your equipment. Temperature Caution!
Be careful when handling the unit. When the unit is plugged in, the internal components generate heat, and consequently the outer casing may feel hot to the touch. Connecting the Power Terminal Block Connect the 9 to 48 VDC power line to the terminal block connector on the UC-2100-W Series platform. If the power is supplied properly, the Power LED will glow a solid green. The power input location and pin definition are shown in the adjacent diagram. Grounding the Unit Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting devices. ATTENTION This product is intended to be mounted to a well-grounded mounting surface, such as a metal panel. SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called Protected Ground) contact is the right-most contact of the 3-pin power terminal block connector when viewed from the angle shown here. Connect the SG wire to an appropriate grounded metal surface. 3-2 UC-2100-W Series Hardware Hardware Connection Description ATTENTION A shielded power cord is required to meet FCC emission limits and also to prevent interference with nearby radio and television reception. It is essential that only the supplied power cord be used. You are cautioned that changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void your authority to operate the equipment. Connecting to the Console Port The UC-2100-Ws console port is a 4-pin pin-header RS-232 port located on the top panel of the case. It is designed for serial console terminals, which are useful for identifying the boot up message, or for debugging when the system cannot boot up. Serial Console Port & Pinouts Serial Console Cable Pin 1 2 3 4 Signal TxD RxD NC GND Connecting to the Network The Ethernet ports are located on the top or bottom side of the UC-2100-W platform. The pin assignments for the Ethernet port are shown in the following figures. If you are using your own cable, make sure that the pin assignments on the Ethernet cable connector match the pin assignments on the Ethernet port. The LED indicator on the upper right corner glows a solid green color when the device establishes a connection with a 100 Mbps Ethernet network. The LED will flash on and off when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received. The LED indicator in the upper left corner glows a solid orange color when the device establishes a connection with a 10 Mbps Ethernet network. The LED will flash on and off when Ethernet packets are being transmitted or received. The LED indicator in the upper right corner glows a solid orange color when the device establishes a connection with a 1000 Mbps Ethernet network.
