Installing the DeviceMaster 500 and the
SICK LMS Scanner (Windows)
This document contains an overview of installation procedures to set up the
DeviceMaster 500 and LMS scanner at 500K baud in Windows. You can use this
document to set the DeviceMaster 500 and SICK LMS scanner to other baud rates
that may use an RS-232 cable.
Optionally, refer to the DeviceMaster 500 Installation and Configuration Guide
the following information:
• Hardware installation
• Installing PortVision Plus
• Configuring the network information
• Checking (and if necessary, updating) SocketServer
• Device driver installation, configuration, and COM port configuration
Note: Optionally, refer to the NS-Link User Guide for Windows
driver installation and configuration procedures or the help system.

Installation Overview
Installation Overview
The first step is installing the DeviceMaster 500. There are several DeviceMaster
500 models, which have different installation procedures.
Use the appropriate procedure for your DeviceMaster 500 model.
• 1-Port Enclosed
(99439-8) Installation on Page 2
• 1-Port Custom Embedded Bulk (99474-9) Installation
• 4-Port Installation (99444-2)
1-Port Enclosed (99439-8) Installation
Use the following procedure to install the 1-port enclosed
DeviceMaster 500 and LMS scanner at 500K baud.
Before installation, record the serial number and MAC
address from the back of the DeviceMaster 500 on the
provided customer service label. You may need the MAC
address, which starts with 00 C0 4E, during device driver
configuration.
Use the following procedure to install the DeviceMaster
500 1-Port.
1. Use the appropriate procedure:
• Not DIN Rail Mounted; skip to Step 3
• DIN Rail Mount
- Pick up the DeviceMaster 500 so that the front is facing you.
- Pick up a DIN rail clip. (The three tines should be on
top and the M4 label should face you.)
- Slide the DIN rail clip behind the DeviceMaster 500
and line it up with one of the screw holes on the
DeviceMaster 500.
- Insert a screw into the hole and tighten with a
Phillips screwdriver.
- Repeat the above steps with the second DIN rail clip. Make sure the
screws on both DIN rail clips line up.
- Attach the DeviceMaster 500 to the DIN rail.
For optimal
operation, verify
that the
DeviceMaster 500
is mounted in a
vertical orientation
with a minimum of
1.0” space on either
side and a
minimum of 4.5”
clearance from the
center of the rail to any device or wire trough above the unit and a
minimum of 5.0” below.
If you need to remove the DeviceMaster 500 from the DIN rail, exert

2. Connect the DeviceMaster 500 port labeled 10/100 Ethernet to the same
Ethernet network segment as the host PC using a standard Ethernet cable.
Note: Comtrol Technical Support recommends connecting the DeviceMaster
500 to a PC/laptop running Windows during initial configuration.
Do not connect the scanner until the port interface type has been
configured in the NS-Link driver. The default serial port setting is RS-
232.
3. Apply power to the DeviceMaster 500 using the following steps.
a. Connect the screw terminal power
connector to the wires on the power
supply as displayed. The power supply
must conform to the specifications for the
DeviceMaster 500.

Caution
† Any power supply that meets current
consumption, voltage, power, and connector
pinouts requirements can be used.
Observe proper ESD techniques when connecting and disconnecting
the DeviceMaster 500.
b. Use a small flat head screw to lock the wires into place.
c. Plug the power terminal connector into the DeviceMaster 500.
Note: Align the power plugs properly. The scalloped side of the screw
terminal power connector should be aligned with the scalloped side
of the power jack on the DeviceMaster 500.
d. If necessary, connect the appropriate power cable to the power supply.
e. Connect the power supply to the power source.
4. Verify the Status LED has completed the boot cycle and network connection for
the DeviceMaster 500 is functioning properly using the table below.
LED Descriptions 1-Port Enclosed
If the 100 LED is lit, it indicates a working 100 MB Ethernet
100
connection (100 MB network, only). If the LED is not lit, it
indicates a 10 MB Ethernet connection.
Tx/Rx Displays transmit and receive activity.
Link/Act
When lit, it indicates a working Ethernet connection. The
LED blinks several times during the boot cycle.

LED Descriptions 1-Port Enclosed
If the LED is lit, it indicates that the DeviceMaster 500 has
power and it has completed the boot cycle.
Status
Note: The Status LED flashes while booting and it takes
approximately 15 seconds for the Bootloader to
complete the boot cycle. When the Bootloader
completes the cycle, the LED has a solid, steady light
that blinks approximately every 30 seconds.
Go to Software Installation on Page 9 to complete the installation.
1-Port Custom Embedded Bulk (99474-9) Installation
Use the following procedure to set up the 1-port custom embedded bulk
DeviceMaster 500 and LMS scanner at 500K baud.
• If necessary, build the serial ribbon cable.
• Mount the DeviceMaster 500 and optionally install light pipes (Page 5).
• Attach the network and serial cables (Page 6).
• Connect the power and verify installation (Page 7).
Building the Serial Ribbon Cable
Use the following information to build a DB9 serial ribbon cable to connect to the
DeviceMaster 500 1-Port embedded IDC10 connector (J3).
