Tenor™ Call Relay 60 Quick Start
STEP 1: Install Ground Cable
The Tenor Call Relay 60 provides an Earth Ground point by way of a #6 screw at the rear panel. This screw
provides an additional functional Earth point, if required in your installation. Safety ground is provided
through the third wire of the AC power cord provided with your unit. For continued safe operation, a three
wire AC power cord must be used; failure to do so will void the warranty and Agency approvals.

Install Ground Cable
1. Unscrew the existing screw from the grounding hole.
2. Place the screw through the connector of the ground cable.
3. Attach the screw securely to the threaded grounding hole.
4. Connect the other end of the ground cable to an approved
electrically grounded object. Consult with a licensed electrician if you are unclear about this operation.
STEP 2: Connect to Console Port
You will need to connect the Tenor Call Relay 60 to your workstation’s serial port via RS-232 connection.
(This connection will be used when you assign an IP address to the unit.) For the instructions below, it is
assumed you are connecting to a Windows PC.

labeled Console. (See the Tenor Call Relay 60 Product
Guide for RS-232 connector pinouts.)
2. Insert the female end of the DB-9 cable into your workstation’s serial port (see your PC documentation for
more information about this port).
STEP 3: Power up the System

Once you have all cables connected properly, you are ready to turn the system on as follows:
1. Plug in the power cord to an AC outlet.
2. Locate the on/off switch on the back of the unit and click the switch to On.
The unit will power up and the LEDs will flash and turn off, the power LED will remain lit. Once the unit is powered
up, you are ready to assign an IP address.
STEP 4: Assign IP Address
Before you can configure the Call Relay 60, you need to assign a valid IP address. An IP address is a 32 bit (up to 12
numeric characters) address used to identify each network device in the TCP/IP network.
Assign IP address as follows:
1. Click on Start> Programs> Accessories> Communications> HyperTerminal> Run. The HyperTerminal window
will be displayed.
2. Click on Hyperterm.
3. Enter a Connection Description (i.e., name for each unit such as CR 60 NJ).
4. Click Ok.
5. Choose the connection port on your PC from the Connect Using drop down list box (i.e., Direct to Com 1). Click
Ok. The Com1 Properties window will be displayed. See
