Connector Description

Power Connector

Connect the 12-48 VDC power line to the UC-8410A’s terminal block. The Ready LED will glow a steady green color after 30 to 60 seconds have passed.

Grounding the UC-8410A

Grounding and wire routing help limit the effects of noise due to electromagnetic interference (EMI). Run the ground connection from the ground screw to the grounding surface prior to connecting the power.

Ethernet Port

Serial Port

The 8 serial ports (P1 to P8) use RJ45 connectors. Each port can be configured by software as RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485. The pin assignments are shown in the following table:

Digital Inputs and Digital Outputs

The UC-8410A has 4 digital output channels and 4 digital input channels. Refer to the UC-8410A Hardware User's Manual for detailed pinouts and wiring.

SD/mSATA

The UC-8410A comes with a SD card slot and an mSATA socket for storage expansion.

To replace or install the SD card, or to install an mSATA card, follow these steps:
1. Use a screwdriver to remove the screws on the rear and side panels of the cover over the mSATA socket.
2. Remove the cover to access the SD-card slot and the mSATA socket.
3. Push the SD card in gently to release it and remove the SD card to insert a new one in the socket. Make sure your SD card has been securely inserted.
4. Insert the mSATA card into the socket, and then fasten the screws. Please note that the mSATA card is NOT included in the product package and must be purchased separately. Standard mSATA card types have been tested with the UC-8410A computer and have been found to work normally. For addit ional details, refer to the UC-8410A hardware manual.

Console Port

The serial console port is a 4-pin pin-header RS-232 port that is located below the SD card socket. Use a screwdriver to remove the two screws holding the cover to the embedded computer’s housing. The port is used for the serial console terminal, which is useful for viewing boot-up messages. Use the CBL-4PINDB9F-100 cable included with the UC-8410A-LX to connect a PC to the UC-8410A’s serial console port. For details on configuring the UC-8410A-LX, refer to the Connecting the UC-8410A Computer to a PC section.

3. Close the cover and fasten the screw.

Powering on the UC-8410A Computer

To power on the UC-8410A, connect a terminal block to power jack converter to the UC-8410A’s DC terminal block (located on the left rear
panel), and then connect the power adapter. Note that the Shielded Ground wire should be connected to the right most pin of the terminal block. It takes approx imately 30 seconds for the system to boot up. Once the system is ready, the Ready LED will light up.

Connecting the UC-8410A Computer to a PC

There are two ways to connect the UC-8410A to a PC: (1) through the serial console port (2) using Telnet over the network. The COM settings for the serial console port are: Baudrate=115200 bps, Parity=None, Data bits=8, Stop bits =1, Flow Control=None.

Configuring the Ethernet Interface

Linux Models

If you are using the console cable for a first-time configuration of the network settings, use the following commands to edit the
file:
#ifdown –a
//Disable LAN1/LAN2/LAN3 interface first, before you reconfigure the LAN settings. LAN 1 = eth0, LAN 2= eth1, LAN 3= eth2
#vi /etc/network/interfaces
//check the LAN interface first//
After the boot settings of the LAN interface have been modified, use the following command to activate the LAN settings with immediate e ffect:
#sync; ifup –a
