Safety Guidelines

Follow these guidelines to ensure general safety:

z Keep the chassis area clear and dust-free during and after installation.
z Do not wear loose clothing or jewelry that could get caught in the chassis. Fasten your

tie or scarf and roll up your sleeves.

z Wear safety glasses if you are working under any conditions that might be hazardous to

your eyes.

z Do not perform any action that creates a potential hazard to people or makes the

equipment unsafe.

z Disconnect all power by turning off the power and unplugging the power cord before

installing or removing a chassis or working near power supplies

z Do not work alone if potentially hazardous conditions exist.
z Never assume that power is disconnected from a circuit; always check the circuit.

z LITHIUM BATTERY CAUTION:

Risk of Explosion if Battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.

Operating Safety

z Electrical equipment generates heat. Ambient air temperature may not be adequate to

cool equipment to acceptable operating temperatures without adequate circulation. Be
sure that the room in which you choose to operate your system has adequate air
circulation.

z Ensure that the chassis cover is secure. The chassis design allows cooling air to

circulate effectively. An open chassis permits air leaks, which may interrupt and
redirect the flow of cooling air from internal components.

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry. ESD
damage occurs when electronic components are improperly handled and can result in
complete or intermittent failures. Be sure to follow ESD-prevention procedures when
removing and replacing components to avoid these problems.

z Wear an ESD-preventive wrist strap, ensuring that it makes good skin contact. If no

wrist strap is available, ground yourself by touching the metal part of the chassis.

z Periodically check the resistance value of the antistatic strap, which should be between

1 and 10 megohms (Mohms).

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial
environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and,
if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is
likely to cause harmful interference in which case users will be required to correct the
interference at their own expense.

Class A Notice for FCC
Modifying the equipment without the authorization of Lanner Electronics, Inc. may result in
the equipment no longer complying with FCC requirements for Class A digital devices. In that
event, your right to use the equipment may be limited by FCC regulations, and you may be
required to correct any interference to radio or television communications at your own
expense.

B. Appendix B: Watchdog Timer

B.1 Most Introduction

systems need to be self-reliant. If an error should occur it is typically not possible to wait for
the system to be rebooted manually. In some cases, such as space probes, the system is
simply not accessible to human operators. If such systems should ever hang, they would be
permanently disabled. In other cases, the speed at which a human operator would reset the
system would be too slow to meet the uptime requirements of the product.

A watchdog timer is a piece of hardware that can be used to automatically detect system
anomalies and reset the processor in the case any problems are found. Generally speaking,
a watchdog timer is based on a counter that counts down from an initial value to zero. The
software selects the counter's initial value and periodically restarts it. Should the counter
reach zero before the software restarts it, the software is presumed to be malfunctioning,
and the processor's reset signal is asserted. Thus, the processor will be restarted as if a
human operator had cycled the power.

B.2 Detail Register Descriptions

A watchdog action consists of a series of watchdog instructions. A watchdog instruction is
the operation on a register region. This section describes the detail register in LPD I/O
(W83697HG)

B.2.1 To used the watch-dog timer

For DOS system:
Execute the EM9765WD1.EXE file under DOS, then key-in 0~255. The system will reboot
automatically according to the time-out you set.

C. Appendix C: Simple Testing
Procedures of RS-232/RS-485
Connections

This section illustrates a simple method to test your Serial port’s connection and
data communication.

Let’s use COM2 port with a configuration of RS-485 as an example. To configure
the serial type of COM2, refer to SC2T3/SC2T4: Select COM2 Type Jumper,
Section 2.2.1 Connector Pin Assignments.

1. Enter to BIOS setup utility of the LEC-2050 and make sure that the serial port 2’s base
address is: 2F8.

2. You can connect to the LEC-2050 serial device server’s COM2 serial port with a
RS-232 (DB-9 female) communication cable, with the other end connecting to
the host’s serial port.

3. Install PComm Lift software on the host PC and LEC-2050 to be your testing
terminal.

4. Start the PComm Terminal Emulator from your desktop.

5. Select Port Manager on the main menu.

6. Configure the COM port as the following: select port to be COM2, Baud Rate to

be 9600, Data Bit to be 8, Parity to be None, and Stop Bits to be1.

7. Click RTS to start sending messages from the host to LEC-2050.

8. Click DTR to start receiving messages from LEC-2050 on the host. Remember
to send messages from the LEC-2050’s terminal before receiving messages on
the host.

9. To configure the message encoding method, select Port Manager from the
menu bar of the PComm. Select Send Pattern and then select ASCII or HEX
from the Data Pattern option menu. Enter letters from A to Z if you select ASCII
or enter 0-9 and A-F if you select HEX.

10. If you select ASCII to be the encoding method as shown in the example, you
should see the text messages showing on the receiving end.
