Quick Start
These are the basic steps to start up the MA 2/4Port Node:
The 2/4Port Node is supported by grandMA2 console with software V3.0 and higher.
Connect the MA 2/4Port Node using a network cable (RJ45 plug) via a switch / hub (must be capable of PoE)
to the grandMA 2 console- - no cross-cable!
For the first time secure the supplied ferrite bead on the network cable as close as possible to the
node. Snap the ferrite bead audible - it is securely fixed.
Start grandMA2 console. It takes about 30 seconds until the MA 2/4 Port Node is ready.
The MA 2/4 Port Node display will only show the most important settings. For configuring a node, you have to
use a grandMA console.
