Connect the supplied power cord to the Aurora Logger and a standard 120VAC power
outlet.
11.
Check the Aurora Logger power. There are a pair of light emitting diodes (LEDs) on
the side of the logger, opposite the RS-485/DC power terminal block. The LEDs flash
red during system boot and then one turns solid green when power is supplied and
the system is ready.
2.3 Power One Inverter Address Configuration
Power-One inverters use a proprietary RS-485 communication interface, and therefore
must be daisy-chained to the Secondary RS-485 terminal connectors. For system with
multiple inverters, each inverter must be manually assigned a different RS-485
address. Refer to the inverter manual(s) for instructions on how to set inverter addresses
and exact inverter connection points. Write down the serial number and RS-485 address
for each inverter so you can determine which inverter is which on the monitoring system.

Commissioning
The following are the major steps required to make sure the system is operational and data is
being passed to Aurora Vision servers:
1.
Connect the Aurora Logger (data logger) to your Ethernet network.
2.
Run the Aurora Logger Setup Tool to verify that your Aurora Logger is configured
properly. The Setup Tool is the built-in web server of the logger.
3.
Verify that you have a working Internet Connection to the Aurora Logger.
4.
Perform Asset Registration using the Aurora ADMIN tool over the Internet.
5.
Verify end-to-end data transfer using the Aurora Vision web portal.
Commissioning is not complete until you have performed the final two steps above over the
Internet. However, these two steps do not necessarily need to be performed as part of the
hardware installation.
3.1 Connect to the Internet
Connect the Aurora Logger to the Internet through the local area network or directly. This is
done by using a standard Ethernet cable (CAT-5/5e/6/6e) and connecting it to the Ethernet
RJ-45 port marked
Eth0
on the front of the Aurora Logger. The Aurora Logger can connect
through any switch or router in your network.
Verify that the Aurora Logger has an Ethernet connection. The
Eth0
LED can be used for
detecting network link and network traffic:
•
Eth0 LED = GREEN = Link
•
Eth0 LED = GREEN BLINK = Traffic
•
Eth0 LED= OFF = No network link
