top of the device.

Plug the barrel connector of the AC power supply into the
power port. Plug the power supply into an AC outlet.

The ABDN-SE-DP551/553 does not have an Ethernet port

for initial conguration. You will use a serial port.

Connect one end of a null modem cable to the serial port of
the ABDN-SE-DP551/553. Connect the other end of the null
modem cable to the host computer using a built-in serial port
or a serial port adapter.

Open HyperTerminal or a similar program on the Host
computer. Settings: 9600, 8-N-1.

Type: ÿ~ABD

HOLD down the <ALT> key on your keyboard while typing 0255 on the
keypad. Release. Immediately after the ÿ character, type ~ABD

Press the “Enter” key (<CR>) after each command line you
type.

If you are having trouble sending this sequence,
please copy and paste ÿ~ABD into a text le and
use the “Send Text File” option.

If sent correctly, the device will respond “OK “.

Type auth dpac dpac

After restart, your LEDs should be green for Power and Link. This
indicates that you have authenticated to your network. (If this does

not happen you should double check your congurations on the

A P.)

Initial setup must be done through the serial port. After
you have done this, you will be able to use the Web
interface to make changes.

Type the IP address of the ABDN-SE-DP551/553 into

Install and run the Airborne Management Center (AMC)
application. You can install it from the included CD or
download and install it from the B+B SmartWorx website.

Your ABDN-SE-DP551/553 should be recognized by the
Airborne Management Center software.

Right click on the device’s name, select “Conguration

Management” and “Install VCOM”.
