Installing the V2616A

The V2616A comes with
two wall-mounting
brackets. Use two screws
on each side to attach the
V2616A to a wall or
cabinet.

Connector Description

Power Connector

Connect the power line with M12 connector to the V2616A
computer. The V2616A offers the power input range from 24 to
110 VDC. If the power is supp lied properly, the Power LED will ligh t
up. The OS is ready when the Ready LED glows a solid green.

ATTENTION

Please note that the branch

circuit over current protection

must be rated maximum 10 A.

Grounding the V2616A

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.

ATTENTION

This product is intended to be mounted to a well-

grounded

mounting surface, such as a metal panel.

SG: The Shielded Ground (sometimes called

Protected Ground) contact is the

central pin

of the power input connector. Connect the
SG wire to an appropriate grounded metal
surface.

VGA and DVI Outputs

The V2616A comes with a D-Sub 15-pin female connector for a
VGA monitor; it also comes with a DVI-D connector for the DVI
display. These output interfaces are all located on the rear panel.
Use the proper cable when connecting devices to the V2616A.

CFast Card Socket

The V2616A has a C Fast card socket located on the rear panel for
storing the operating system. To install a CFast card, remove the
outer cover, and then insert the CFast card in the socket. When
finished, push the cover into the socket and fasten the screws.

Note that the operating system (Linux or Windows Embedded
Standard 7) has already been stored on the CFas t card. If y ou
change the CFast card, you will n eed to re-install the V2616A’s
operating system. Refer to the System Recovery Section in the
Software User' s Manual for deta ils.

USB Ports

The V2616A has one USB port with an M12 X-coded connector, and
two USB ports with type A connectors on the rear panel. These USB

ATTENTION

There is risk of damage to the M12 X-coded cable due to
improper insta llation or removal.
For detailed information on cable installat ion, see the
V2616A Hardware User’s Manua l.

To connect an M12 X-coded cable on
the rear panel, orient the cable so
that the indicator on the M12
X-coded cable aligns with the ke y
notch on the port, or the notch on
the M12 X-coded cable pin core
aligns with the notch on the port
socket. Then, connect the cable to
the port and tight en the interlock
screw.

Serial Ports

The serial ports use DB9 connectors. Each port can be configured
by software for RS-232, RS -422, or RS -485. The pin assignments
for the por ts are shown in the fo llowing table:

Note: This is the pin assignment on the connectors of the V2616A
computer. If you use your own serial cable, you need to mirror the
pin assignment on the connector of the serial cable.

Audio Interface

The V2616A comes with audio input and stereo output, allo wing
users to connect speakers or an earphone.

DI/DO

The V2616A comes with a 6-channel digital
input and 2-channel digital outpu t terminal
blocks.

Hot-swappable Storage Trays

V2616A computers come with 2 hot-swappa ble trays for inserting
additional sto rage media. To insert the hard disk, simply remove
the screws from the tray disk, fasten the hard disk with the screws,
and then place the tray back in the slot. Protection keys are also
provided to protect the disk tray from being removed. Refer to the
Hardware User’s Manual for detailed storage installation
instructions.

Real-time Clock

The V2616A’s real- time clock is po wered by a lithium ba ttery. We
strongly recommend that you do not replace the lithium battery
without help from a qualified Moxa support engineer. If you need
to change the battery, contact the Moxa RMA service team.

ATTENTION

There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced by one

of incorrect type.

Configuring the Ethernet Interface

Power on the V2616A computer after connecting a monitor,
keyboard, and mouse, and verify that the power source is ready.
Once the operating system boots up, the first step is to configure
the Ethernet interface. The factory default settings for the V2616A
LANs are show below. (Note that Windows models use DHCP
settings. )

Default IP Address Netmask

LAN1 192.168.3.127 255.255.255.0
LAN2 192.168.4.127 255.255.255.0

Instructions for Linux Users :

If you a re configuring network settings using the console,
enter the following commands to edit the interfaces file:

Moxa~:#ifdown –a

This will disable all Ethernet interfaces, so do not use this
command if you are accessing the console over Ether net.

Moxa~:#vi /etc/network/interfaces

The above command opens the interfaces file for editing. Below,
we show you basic interface configuration with DHCP for
LAN1/eth0, and a static configuration for LAN2/eth1. A line for
IPV6 stateless address autoconfiguration (SLAAC) is also included,
as well as standar d IPV6 configuration for DHCP.

iface eth0 inet stat ic
auto eth0
allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet dhcp
iface eth0 inet6 dhcp
# iface eth0 inet6 auto

iface eth1 inet stat ic
address

192.168.4.127

network 192.168.4.0
netmask 255.255.255.0

Write the /etc/interfaces file to the drive by entering wq

After the network settings have b een modified, use the following
command to activate the interfaces:

Moxa~:#sync; ifup –a

Instructions for W7E Users:

The Windows operating system comes with DHCP as the default
setting. Windows users who want to set up a static IP address will
need to follow the steps below.

Step 1: Go to Start > Control Panel > Network and I nternet

> Network Connections.

Step 2: In the screen of Local Area Connection Properties,

click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then select
Properties.

Step 3: C lick OK after inputting the preferred IP address and

netmask.
