NIA Card

Figure 1 - NIA card with blank KDA shelf.

Overview

DPS’ Network Interface Adapter fits in the expansion card slot of the KDA shelf. It interfaces directly to an Ethernet

10BaseT network using SNMP protocol.

The unit is easy to install, with connectors for all serial and LAN ports and it

mounts quickly in either 19" or 23" equipment racks while occupying only one rack unit of space.

Mounting Instructions

The unit can be mounted in a 19” or 23” rack by using the reversible rack ears for either size (provided). Several rack ear
locations are available. Attach the ears for your rack using either the 7”, 5 1/2”, 5”, 1/2”, or 0” (flush mount) projection. See
the figure below for mounting options.

Power Connection (Main KDA Shelf Only)

1. Remove the fuse from the front panel and turn off the power supply when connecting the power from the main feed.

2. Connect a -48VDC line to the -BATT terminal and the ground to the GND terminal.

3. Turn on main power with the fuse still removed.

4. Connect the black common lead of a volt meter to ground and the red lead to -BATT. The Meter should read the battery
level (-43 to -53VDC). If not, check your power supply

5. Do not re-insert the fuse (powering up the unit) until all other connections have been made.

Note: Observe polarity when connecting battery leads. If using the -48VDC red/black cables supplied with the unit, connect black to

GND and red to -BATT. Standard gauge is 20AWG, which varies from 18-24AWG.

NIA Configuration

1. Before configuration can begin, power must be connected to the main KDA shelf.

2. Connect a DB9 download cable to the female DB9 C1.

3. Connect the other end of the DB9 cable to a PC running terminal emulation software.

4. Set your computer’s serial port to match the NIA card’s default data rate and word format settings (9600 N, 8, 1). In

your terminal emulation software, be sure to set the Flow control to “None.”

5. Press and hold the “MOD” button on the front panel of the NIA card. As you hold the button down, insert the fuse into

the front panel. Continue holding the “MOD” button until the front panel LEDs stop flashing (approx. 10 seconds).

6. When a connection is established, hit any key to bring up the first configuration menu.
