*Note for 2 Hub persite solution, Hub 2 (the second Hub) will have NO card installed ins Access Slot 1. After HW installation is completed connect your PC as per diagram below.Mgmt port connected to LAN port of PC port of PC. Console cable is provided with each Hub.

Set your PC IP to 192.168.255.101 subnet mask 255.255.255.0. (No GW needed)

Run the A-2200 First - Time Installer tool

Note if you have the below error message then most probably it is clashing with another software using your COM Close Hyperterminal or any other similar sw (like Putty etc)

If you have SRAL/SRA4 dial up connection configured you need to disable that before proceeding Right Click on your PC's My Computer icon, select properties Select Device Manager Select Modems and Communication cable between two computers and disable it Do not forget to enable it once you have finished commissioning the Flexi Packet

Once the program is started it should progress for 20 - 25 minutes. Please do not attempt to disrupt the process

The Hub will reset a few times during this process. Once everything is complete the SW will prompt you to disconn port and connect it to slot 1 port 8. Do not press OK until you have shift the connection

Once everything is complete the SW will prompt you accordingly

You may proceed to the commissioning portion

*Warning: If you have a 2 Hub persite solution please proceed to the next worksheet First Time Installation and continue from there! Do not proceed to the Commissioning stage just yet
