27 Jun MPPI QUICK START GUIDE
1 Unpacking your MPPI
chassis/xx + SOM/E + instrument modules
All modules should arrive connected and
properly configured

2 Connecting power
Universal 120 VAC / 220 VAC power
cord
Power to the MPPI can be connected directly to the AC mains.
In chassis/28HP and chassis/42HP, alternatively, a DC power input can be used to increase the noise performance of the MPPI (linear power supply or battery at 6 VDC).
Power input is automatically detected, so if the DC power input is connected, it will become the primary power source of the MPPI.

3 Connecting the communication port to your SOM/E
USB (virtual IP) or Ethernet connection
Your MPPI has two communication ports:
– Ethernet port. Configured as DHCP ( factory default
settings).
– USB Type B port. MPPI does not use a Serial COM driver
but a virtual IP driver (“see” your MPPI as a local IP).
Your MPPI has three connections methods:
– Direct Ethernet connection. You can directly connect a Ethernet cable to your computer.
– Network connection. You can access your MPPI if both the MPPI and your PC are in the same local network.
– USB connection. Direct USB connection.
