  • The card will not boot up if connected to a +5V supply!

External Installation Procedure: on network with DHCP-server

  1. Make sure you have access to a Host-PC that is connected to the network on which you intend to use the SP-ICE-3 Card.

  2. Make sure that the RAYLASE GmbH SP-ICE-3 Host Software is installed on the Host-PC.

  3. Connect the SP-ICE-3 Card to a suitable network switch port using a standard Ethernet patch cable.

  4. Connect the SP-ICE-3 Card to a suitable power supply, and switch it on.

  5. If possible, observe the card's Status LEDs, and wait for the Power LED to light continuously: see 18.1 Power LED Signalling for details.

  6. If necessary, switch on the Host-PC.

  7. From the Start Menu on the Host-PC, start the SP-ICE-3 Configuration Tool (SPICE3Config.exe), and click the Discover button.

  8. Wait for the discovery process to finish, which takes about 10 seconds.

  9. Check that the newly installed SP-ICE-3 Card appears in the drop-down list of available cards.

  10. Select the newly installed SP-ICE-3 Card from the drop-down list, and click the Connect button.

  11. Check that the information displayed on the various tabs is correct ( especially Serial Number and Firmware Version).

The newly installed SP-ICE-3 Card is now basically ready for use, but you will probably want to configure it to your application requirements by following the Configuration Procedures.
