Quick Start
During the procedure described below, you will connect the
Power
cable, the
Multi I/O
cable, and the
Ethernet
cable to the unit. These cables are included in the Evaluation kit. If
you plan to use your own cables, some of these instructions may not apply.
The step-by-step instructions below outline the VersaSync installation and configuration
process:
1.
Install VersaSync
in the designated vehicle:
Choose a mounting location within reach of your antenna and networking
cables
Optionally, ground the unit by connecting the DC negative terminals to the
chassis of the unit, and to the vehicle metallic structure.
The mounting plate should be in direct contact with the unit base plate, and
the mounting surface is even and heat conductive.
2.
Connect the power supply
. The unit will power up, and the ON/OFF status LED
will pulsate.

Caution:
If your unit does not power up, there may be a problem with
your cables. If this is your first installation using your cables, check
the polarity of the wires and confirm that the unit will power up nor-
mally before proceeding with these steps or making any other con-
nections.
3.
Install the GNSS antenna
(s). Follow your antenna manufacturer's instructions.
4.
Wire the antenna cables and interface cables
. (Most customers will require the
Multi I/O and Ethernet cables for these connections.)
USB
: Connect the
Multi I/O
connector to the VersaSync unit. If you are using
the Evaluation Kit, connect the Multi I/O USB output to a PC. Install a
ter-
minal emulator
program on the PC (e.g., TeraTerm
®
or PuTTY
®
).
Ethernet
