Hardware Overview
Figure 1: Electrical connections
Hardware Installation
1. Unpack materials: Remove all materials from shipping box and verify all required components are available.
2. Mount the Model 3700 server on the wall or other appropriate location.
3. Optional: Connect any analog or pulse output sensors you may have. For analog sensors, 0…10V or 4…20 mA sensor
types are allowed. The combined power consumption of all the analog sensors attached to the Model 3700 server must
not exceed 200 mA. If more current is required, use an external power supply. See Figure 2.
4. Optional: Connect the Modbus network loop. See Figure 1. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for installing and
powering the Modbus devices. Verify that the Modbus address settings are unique for each device (for instance, no two
devices with the same address) and power up the device. Connect each device in the chain by “daisy-chaining” the devices
together. Observe positive (+) and negative (–) polarity on the Modbus devices.
OTE:N Low Voltage analog, pulse, and RS-485 wiring that enters electrical panels must have a minimum insulation rating
that exceeds the voltage inside the panel. In addition, other regulations may apply; consult the building codes in
your area prior to installation.
OTE:N Some Modbus devices do not use the same label notation as the Model 3700 server. Emon uses Low, High and Gnd in
place of –, + and S. To attach an Emon meter, use + to High, – to Low, and shield to Gnd.
Figure 2: Wiring diagram
OTE:N The Model 3700 server internal I/O module (analog and pulse inputs) uses Modbus address 250 and shows up in the
Modbus device count as a single Modbus device. Additional A8923-4 I/O modules may be added to the Modbus loop,
as needed.

5. Power-up and diagnostics: Attach the power supply to the power input jack on the Model 3700, and plug the power brick
into a wall outlet. The power brick should be in a location that is accessible for connection and disconnection. After power
is applied, the green Alive LED in the upper right of the Model 3700 server comes on and the LCD display shows a series
of diagnostic screens ending with the following message on the LCD display (this boot sequence may require up to 20
seconds to complete):
Model 3700 server Ready
192.168.40.50
The message indicates that the Model 3700 server has loaded properly and is ready for configuration and connection to the
network and sensors. If, the power light does not come on or the LCD display does not cycle to the above screen, verify that
the power cord is plugged in. If, after cycling the power, the unit still does not power up (or if an error message appears in the
LCD display), contact technical support. After the Model 3700 server has been powered up for a minute, the green Alive LED
blinks once per second during normal operation.
LED Name Description
Modbus TX/RX The Modbus TX and RX LEDs blink to indicate data on the RS-485/Modbus loop. The RX LED blinks only when data is
received by the Model 3700.
Modem RTS The modem is being monitored or operated by the Model 3700 server, off when the modem is idle. This LED will be
on when a dial-out call is in progress, or when dial-in is enabled and waiting for an inbound call.
Modem CD The modem has a carrier connection to a remote server.
Modem TX/RX Data is being sent or received on the modem.
Alive Blinks once per second while the server is operating correctly.
Alarm Blinks to indicate a problem.
Inputs 1-8 In pulse or status mode, the LED is on when contacts are closed. In analog 4…20 mA and 0…10V mode, the LED
blinks quickly (2 Hz) to indicate an over-range alarm error. In 4…20 mA mode when the input current is less than
4 mA, or in resistance mode where the input resistance is above 10 Mohm, the LED blinks a pattern (blink, blink, off)
to indicate a broken wire alarm.
Ethernet Link/Act ON when connected to a hub or switch, OFF when not connected. Blinks when there is LAN traffic.
RS-485 RX/TX The 485TX LED blinks once per second during normal operation. The RX LED blinks when external Modbus devices
communicate with the Model 3700 server.
RF TX / RF RX If the A8812 has a built-in option with an on-board radio, the RF LEDs blink showing transmit and receive packets.

Hardware Overview
6. Verify connected devices: To verify that the Modbus devices are installed and reporting correctly, use the Modbus status
utility on the Model 3700 server:
a. Press and release the Menu (top) button on the server. The LCD display shows:
[Main Menu]
TCP/IP Config
b. Press the Menu (top) button several more times until the LCD display shows:
[Main Menu]
Modbus Status
c. Press the Select (bottom) button on the server. The server begins the diagnosis of the Modbus loop. After the check is
completed, the LCD display shows:
X devices OK
X fail, X new
d. Verify that the number of devices located by the server (the total of OK, Fail and New) matches the number of devices
actually installed and connected. For a first-time installation, all devices appear as New. The server's Internal I/O (pulse
and analog inputs) appear as one device in this list.
OTE:N A device is the Modbus-connected device, not necessarily the sensor. For example, an A8923-4 I/O module with
4 sensors connected is only one Modbus device, not four. For further information on the LCD console, see "LCD
Console" on page 30.
The server completes a background scan for new Modbus devices every 2…5 minutes. Increasing the RS-485 Modbus timeout
may increase the time required to detect new devices. If the Modbus devices are connected after the server is booted up, the
devices may not appear on the screen for several minutes. In the worst case, allow up to 5 minutes for the server to locate all
the connected devices.
e. When all devices are reporting properly, connect the server to the network or phone line for remote reporting
and configuration.

Basic Network Conguration
BASIC NETWORK CONFIGURATION
Determine the IP Addressing Needs
The IP address of the Model 3700 server can be implemented three ways. Check with the network administrator to determine
which method applies. For phone installations, use Direct Connection to Laptop to allow initial configuration.
• A Static IP Address is a fixed IP address assigned by a network administrator and hard-coded into the server.
• A Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Address is a process that dynamically assigns an IP address to the
Model 3700 server when it is connected to the network from a host DHCP server.
• A Direct Connection to Laptop is a connection between the server and a single temporary computer, such as a laptop.
The primary connection is dial-in or dial-out by modem.
Obtain the following information from your network administrator: The addresses are in the form of “###.###.###.###”), where
“#” refers to the numbers 0…9.
