PATHPORT REFURBISHMENT KIT
INSTALLATION PROCEDURE
Prior to beginning, save a show le with Pathport Manager. During replacement, cross reference the MAC address of each replacement core with
the IP address used at each installed location . After installation, use Pathport Manager to identify new cores by MAC address, and use the “Replace
Node Permanently” option to clone all patch and conguration information, including IP settings, from the former core to the replacement core.
C-Series (ushmount) Nodes:
• Disengage node from back box by removing 4-40 Phillips retaining screws or hex nuts from either side of node face. Keep these screws. Gently
lift node out of box by pulling the bottom of the faceplate forward, then lifting the top o the trim ring.
• Unplug Ethernet cable and the 24VDC header (if used)
• Remove the 4-40 screw in the center of the existing core board. Older Pathports may have a white plastic post instead of a screw. The post head
may be gently broken o to allow removal of the core board.
• Grasp the existing core board rmly and ease the two 28-pin headers out of their sockets on the I/O board beneath until the core board is free.
• Install the new core by carefully aligning the two 28-pin headers on the replacement core to the sockets on the I/O board, observing the original
board orientation.
• Once rmly seated, test by restoring power—in most cases simply by replugging the Ethernet cable. The node should boot normally.
• If desired, install the 4-40 screw to the stand o. Installation of this screw is not possible on older nodes and isn’t required for operation.
• Reinstall node by hooking top of faceplate on trim ring, easing the node into the backbox and replacing the retaining screws.
D-Series (wallmount) Nodes:
• Remove and retain two faceplate screws and remove faceplate. Note: the node is attached to the back of the faceplate
• Unplug Ethernet cable, 24VDC header (if used) and DMX lines.
• Remove the 4-40 screw in the center of the existing core board. Older Pathports may have a white plastic post instead of a screw. The post head
may be gently broken o to allow removal of the core board.
• Grasp the existing core board rmly and ease the two 28-pin headers out of their sockets on the I/O board beneath until the core board is free.
• Install the new core by carefully aligning the two 28-pin headers on the replacement core to the sockets on the I/O board, observing the original
board orientation.
• Once rmly seated, test by restoring power—in most cases simply by replugging the Ethernet cable. The node should boot normally.
• If desired, install the 4-40 screw to the stand o. Installation of this screw is not possible on older nodes and isn’t required for operation.
• Replug the 24VDC header (if used) and the DMX lines. Reposition the faceplate on the backbox. Fasten faceplate with retained screws.
REFURBISHMENT LIMITATIONS
Use of the refurbishment kit will not correct damage to the DMX I/O ports, or correct LCD problems with screen rendering or loss of backlight. Nodes
with LCD issues or non-functioning DMX ports should be replaced in their entirety.
Refurbishment should be considered for all C-Series and C-Series style nodes manufactured prior to 2010, if the node has “bootp” issues or cannot be
upgraded to current rmware. Models include, but aren’t limited to: 6201, 6202, 6203 and 6229.
The #6299 refurbishment kit is not compatible with R-Series nodes including model numbers: 6235, 6241, 6242 and 6243.
Installation of a refurbishment kit will change the serial number and default IP settings of the aected node. Please note that although Pathway
will extend warranty to the replacement core board, all other components retain their original warranty period.
